Réception d'un franc-maçon

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two men from the waist up, in a confrontational stance. The man on the left holds a sharp object pointed towards the man on the right. The man on the left has receding hair and a determined or angry expression. He wears a dark coat and a high-collared shirt with a patterned cover draped over his shoulder. The man on the right appears startled or concerned, with messy hair and prominent eyebrows. He wears a similar dark outfit with a high-collared shirt. There is no visible jewelry on either man. The background has cross-hatching and shading.
