Une Leçon de botanique

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a street scene with three figures walking. Two are moving left while one is walking to the right. The first figure on the left is an adult man wearing a long coat and a high hat, carrying an umbrella. Beside him is a child wearing a dark jacket and light pants, also with a hat. The third figure is walking to the right, carrying a large object resembling an oversized apple on his back, using a stick for support. The background shows tall buildings on a cobblestone street with some indistinct outlines of objects and people in the distance.
