Oh! ma femme est morte!

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man reading a paper. He has a round face, raised eyebrows, and a surprised or concerned expression. He has a beard and disheveled hair. He wears glasses, a white shirt, and is in the middle of shaving. On the table in front of him are a straight razor, black strap, and white plate. The background has a greenish hue on the left and a red drape on the right, possibly with a mirror. The image has an antique, illustrative quality, indicative of a historical or vintage print.
