Hannibal's Crossing

Honoré Daumier

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a man in a feathered helmet and tunic sitting on a large barrel while eating. The man is positioned centrally and shown from the knees up. The helmet has a curved top and a noseguard. The man's tunic is short sleeved. He holds a large piece of meat in both hands. Behind the man are more barrels stacked haphazardly. One barrel in the foreground has writing on it that says "BONUM VINUM ACRUM BORDEAUX". In the background on the left are more people wearing armor and helmets. They hold spears and shields. The scene appears to be set in a snowy mountainous area. The drawing has a border around it. There is writing in a foreign language at the top and bottom.
