Un Retour de jeunesse

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two people, depicted from approximately the waist up. On the left, there is an older man facing slightly toward the woman beside him. He has a pronounced nose, a prominent forehead, and short, curly gray hair. He is dressed in a dark jacket over a lighter-colored shirt or vest, holding a top hat. The woman on the right is wearing a bonnet and a light-patterned shawl with intricate designs. She has heavy eyelids and a slightly upturned nose, holding a small object in her hand. The background contains shaded, indistinct figures and features, in shades of black and gray.
