Rifolard est plus charmé que jamais...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three military officers from the waist up, marching closely together. They wear dark uniforms with epaulettes and sashes, and tall hats decorated with flowers. The officer in the middle holds a bouquet of flowers, looking forward. The officer on the left looks up, appearing distressed, while the officer on the right looks content, holding flowers to his chest with closed eyes. More officers in similar uniforms are faintly visible in the background. The setting is outdoors among tall buildings, with flowers raining down on the street. People on balconies can be seen throwing flowers at the procession.
