Trente secondes de station

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a person being propelled off the roof of a train carriage. The person is shown mid-air with packages and a detached hat swirling around them. Their expression is startled as they reach out. Two other figures are on the train roof holding packages. Faces can be seen in the train windows observing the scene. A person on the station platform below watches the airborne figure with a basket in their arms. The station sign partials reads "STATION."
