Diable!... il parait que le rasoir n'est guère bon...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a barbershop scene. The image depicts an interior setting with one individual seated with a cape wrapped around them, and another individual shaving a customer. The background includes wooden paneling, hanging garments, and a hat on wall hooks. The monochromatic color scheme captures a moment of daily life with a touch of humor. This is in the style of Honoré Daumier.
