La veuve

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

Two individuals are seated at a table. The man on the left is casually seated with one leg crossed over the other and his arm resting on the tabletop. He has wavy, short hair and a distinct facial profile. He is dressed in a dark checkered suit with a white shirt. Next to him, a woman is seated, wearing a long, dark dress and a veil covering her hair. Her face is partially obscured by her hands, holding a handkerchief. The background shows a bookshelf filled with books and a bust sculpture on a pedestal. The setting appears to be a study or library.
