Mais quand je vous dis que je ne peux pas remuer les pieds...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a domestic scene with two figures in an interior setting. The drawing depicts two men engaged in a conversation in a room. One man stands on the left holding a piece of cloth while the other faces him, gesturing. They are dressed in 19th-century attire. The room is furnished with a couch, and there are objects on the floor that resemble slippers or discarded items. The walls have two framed pictures and a decorative clock. The drawing is in a monochrome style using dark lines and shading for texture and depth. The focus is on the moment of interaction with expressive body language and the interior setting.
