Composition
The painting, which looks something like a sepia print, depicts a father and his two daughters in the Place de la Concorde in Paris. The father is Viscount Ludvic Lepic. Another male figure is portrayed on the left of the painting, looking at the Lepic family. There is also a dog standing behind the family.
The bearded viscount is holding his right hand behind his back, while his left clutches an umbrella under his armpit. He is smoking a cigar. Both daughters are dressed almost identically. A horse with mounted rider and pulling a carriage is shown emerging from the left side of the painting.
