Volé!... Rue vide-gousset...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man standing with a slightly hunched posture, looking down at a parcel or letter in his hands. His facial features are sharp, with prominent eyes, a long nose, and a pronounced chin. He wears a top hat, a dark coat, tight pants, and shoes. The background features an urban street scene with a stone wall covered in posters on the left. People, some wearing top hats, can be seen walking on a cobblestone street lined with buildings.
