Un Jour de représentation a bénéfice...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two men depicted from head to toe in an illustration standing side by side. The man on the left has a solemn expression and wears a dark long coat and a top hat. The man on the right appears more rotund, wears a dark suit with a white shirt underneath, and also a top hat. He holds a walking cane in his right hand. There is a partial view of a door in the background marked with the number '35', and a framed piece of paper with visible but indistinct text hanging on the wall. The background is a muted interior with subtle but textured shading suggesting walls and possibly seating in the far left.
