I have been trying to make sense of your drawing!. The two main characters do not look colonial but french!.And the lady appears to be waiting to sign a document!. Even the lady has a pen which in Colonial times the only lady who had any power was a royal!. Could it be Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette!? They did aid the Americas with money and eventually troops during our Revolutionary War!.
The person whispering in her war could be Thomas Jefferson!. It was rumored that he and Marie Antoinette got a little too personal!. And the baby under the table, it was a huge deal when the Louis XVI finally had a child!. I'm probably way far off!. I can't make sense of the black man in the picture!.
