This illustration is from the French comic series 'Troisième Vague Lombard' (Third Wave), written by Desberg and illustrated by Vrancken, published by Lombard in 2003. The scene depicts a tense confrontation in front of the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. In the foreground, a stern white-haired man with blue eyes aims a distinctive silver pistol directly at the viewer, his expression focused and resolute. Slightly behind him to the right, a bespectacled, blonde woman in a dark blue trench coat holds a dagger, her posture alert. Behind them, the Capitol dome is covered in snow, set against bare trees and a cold blue-purple sky, creating a wintry, ominous atmosphere full of suspense and action. The style is typical of European hard-boiled comics, blending a political landmark with character conflict to heighten the drama.
