Une Visite du 1er Janvier

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts the upper halves of two men facing each other in profile. The man on the left has short, receding hair and a thin face, looking somber. The man on the right has messy hair and a scruffy beard, appearing engaged. They wear period clothing, with the man on the left in a suit and the man on the right in a loose garment. The background has a textured, shaded pattern. There is a handwritten note at the bottom and the artist's signature at the top.
