Inconvénient de visiter sans précaution un entresol...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two individuals in a 19th-century setting. On the left, a figure wearing a long coat and a tall hat appears startled, with exaggerated gestures and a surprised expression. On the right, an older woman in traditional attire stands calmly with a steady gaze. The room has patterned wallpaper, and the sketch features strong lines and shading with contrast between light and shadow.
