Pétain and Laval at the table

An old man with white hair and a white moustache, Philippe Pétain, looks down, his eyes lowered; at a table covered with papers a dark-haired man with a moustache, apparently Pierre Laval, sits beside a man with round spectacles; at another table a white-haired man and a younger man sit before a wall hung with a pictorial tapestry. Pétain became head of the French government on 16 June 1940 and asked Germany for an armistice the next day; Laval joined his government at the end of June.
