Est-ce que votre mari serait jaloux...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of three figures. The central figure is well-dressed in a dark coat and top hat and appears to be interacting with the figure to their right, who is wearing a headscarf and an apron. To the left is another figure holding a stick, dressed in lighter, worn clothing. All the figures are in monochrome, suggesting graphite or ink. The expressions and interactions hint at a narrative, with the central figure engaging the attention of the person with the headscarf, while the figure holding the stick looks on. The background is loosely sketched with foliage and hints of a structure.
