On the Train: A Pleasant Companion

Honoré Daumier

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black-and-white drawing of a man and woman sitting on a train. The man wears a top hat, a long coat, and striped pants. His arms are crossed, and he smokes a pipe. The woman wears a dress with a shawl and a bonnet. She sits with her hands folded. The background includes a window on the right side showing a landscape with rolling hills. The interior of the train compartment has dark walls. There is a signature in the bottom-left corner and text in the bottom-right corner. The overall atmosphere suggests a 19th-century setting. The title of the work is "On the Train," and it was created by Honoré Daumier.
