Le Futur monument de Napoléon aux Invalides

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

Four individuals are shown from head to toe, bent over and observing something on the ground. On the left, a man wearing a black top hat and brown coat is bending forward. Next to him, a woman is wearing a yellow and red scarf on her head and a black dress, also bending forward. In the center, a small child with short light brown hair is dressed in light-colored clothes and is bent over, looking at the ground. To their right, an older man in a navy blue coat with a white sash looks down, carrying a sword and holding a circular hat. The background shows a light-colored wall with column shadows, suggesting an architectural setting.
