Les Bains a vingt centimes, nouveau style

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an interaction in a prison setting. The foreground shows two figures; one in a striped outfit and hat, gesturing towards another figure who is partially undressed. The setting is sparse with wooden benches, giving a sense of confinement. Another figure is in the background, partially nude. There are handwritten notes and the style suggests a comedic circumstance, emphasizing the absurdity of the scene.
