Je pars plus amoureux que... jamais...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a caricature of two individuals from the waist up. The person on the left is leaning forward with their hands clasped over their chest, facing the person on the right. This individual has curly hair and an elongated profile with a prominent nose and appears to be wearing a loose, draped garment. The person on the right is standing upright and looking forward with a neutral expression. They have a long face with subtle features and straight hair partially covered by a headpiece resembling a tiara, and their attire suggests a flowing dress with a cloak or veil attached at the shoulders. The background is a simple, textured shading that enhances the figures' outline and provides depth to the image.
