Jean-Louis Greppo

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a caricature of a man with exaggerated features. He is standing facing slightly to the right, with a long face, large nose, intense gaze, full beard, and short hair. He is dressed in a checkered suit and has his hands in his pockets. In the background, there are other vague figures, a seated person, and a gesturing figure on a platform. The background is lightly sketched with architectural and human elements in a whimsical, cartoonish style.
