Rencontre de la payse

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two individuals' upper bodies, from the waist up. One figure, on the left, is standing and embracing the second figure. The person on the left has a neutral expression, short hair, and wears a long coat with a high collar. They also wear a large top hat with a horizontal brim. The figure on the right leans into the embrace and has closed eyes, subtle facial features, and loose fabric around the shoulders and arms. They hold a circular object against their body. The background is plain with a textured shade.
