Un Criminel!

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a cartoon-like drawing of two men shown in full body. Both men are walking side by side, with the first man extending his arm around the second man's shoulder. The first man has exaggerated facial features with pronounced eyes and a long, angular nose. He is wearing a cap and a long, loose-fitting coat. The second man, with similarly exaggerated features, has a shorter nose and wears a hat and a buttoned jacket. The first man holds a long stick or walking cane, while the second carries what appears to be a bottle. The background features a landscape with some foliage and trees, with the outline of a distant cityscape visible. The ground is shaded in a way that provides texture and depth to the image. The drawing includes rough, sketch-like lines and has an inscription in the corner.
