Il y a trois mois, m'sieu l'vicomte posait... comme ça...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two figures interacting next to a framed portrait. The scene shows two individuals standing in front of a large framed portrait hanging on the wall. The drawing emphasizes the clothing and posture of the figures, with one holding a double-barreled rifle and the other holding a cane. The background includes loosely sketched patterns suggesting an interior setting, potentially a room with patterned wallpaper. The portrait on the wall depicts a third character looking at the viewer.
