Comment!... tous mes moutons sont morts...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three individuals. An older man stands facing a woman, with his full body visible. He wears a tall black hat, glasses, a dark suit with a vest, and white shirt, holding his hands on his hips. The woman stands to his left, facing him with her back to the viewer, visible from head to toe. She wears a bonnet and a long dress with an apron tied around her waist. The third person is a child, visible from the back, wearing a long coat and a flat hat, standing to the man's right. The background features a domestic setting, including a hanging pan and a large jug on a table to the left, and a cupboard or a door with items on top to the right. The scene is rendered in shades of gray, giving it a sketched appearance.
