Les Crêpes

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts four people. The main focus is a person standing in the foreground with a towel wrapped around their head, holding a kitchen ladle. Surrounding this person are three others, one with distinct cheekbones and earrings, another with long hair, and the third peeking out from behind the central figure. In the background, there is a table with three bottles and an empty plate. The drawing is done in a sketchy, monochromatic style with heavy contrast and shading.
