The Invalid

Honoré Daumier

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts an illustration by Honoré Daumier titled "The Invalid". The illustration is in black and white and shows a man sitting on a tree stump with a woman standing beside him. The man wears a turban-like head covering, a long-sleeved top, loose pants, and slippers. His posture is slouched, with his head bowed down and arms resting on his knees. The woman stands to his right, wearing a hooded cloak with a striped pattern; her head is covered. She appears to be supporting or comforting the man. Behind them is a large tree with twisted branches and some foliage. The background includes more trees and a cloudy sky. The scene suggests a somber mood, possibly indicating illness or hardship. The text at the top reads "Revue Des Peintres" on the left and "P.167" on the right, with "Wamiee" centered. At the bottom, small illegible text is followed by "LE MALADE". The illustration is bordered by a thin line.
