The Auction House: The Town Crier

Honoré Daumier

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of a man standing with his right arm raised. He wears a dark jacket over a striped shirt and dark pants. His face is contorted and his mouth is open. To his right is a woman holding a clock and a nude doll. The clock is on a mantle and she appears to be placing the doll on top of it. On the left side of the man is a large ornate bowl with a lid. In the background, several people are visible. The artist's signature is in the bottom-right corner.
