L'Oeil du maitre

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two individuals in an interior setting. The person on the right is standing in a three-quarter pose, facing slightly to the right, appearing to examine a glass close to their face. They have prominent facial features, a sharp nose, and a thoughtful expression. They are dressed in a white cap, a long white shirt, fitted pants, and slippers. The second individual, positioned towards the background on the left, is standing in profile while looking down at something they hold with both hands. They wear a long white garment and a dark cap. The background features drapery, a framed picture, and a small table with a glass display case holding an object.
