Un Père heureux

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three individuals: an adult male, an adult female, and a baby within a cradle. The male adjusts spectacles on his face, with a furrowed brow and short, slightly messy hair. He wears a dark, double-breasted jacket. The female, partially visible from the chest up, stands beside him, looking towards the cradle. She wears a headscarf and a shawl. The baby lies in a wicker cradle covered with a blanket and wears a patterned cap. The background is a simple, shaded oval with no discernable details.
