Moi aussi j'ai été jeune...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person leaning over a balcony railing, with their upper body bent forward and resting on their forearms. The person has dark hair, a prominent nose, and furrowed brows. They are wearing dark, loose-fitting clothing. Below the balcony, two figures are walking away on a street. One wears a long coat and tall hat, while the other has their head covered with a possible bonnet. The background features an urban setting with multi-story buildings, chimneys, and a sense of depth.
