Un Père qui fait sucer à son fils...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two figures in a room. One figure is a man wearing a top hat, a dark coat over a light vest, and trousers, holding a glass. The other is a child, likely a boy, wearing an oversized coat or robe and striped pants, drinking from a large mug. In the background, there is a counter with various bottles and a pitcher, and a round object or painting on the wall. On the counter, an older man appears to be asleep, resting his head on crossed arms.
