Un Triomphe de botaniste

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two men from the waist up. The man in the foreground is leaning forward towards a small potted plant on a table. He has a receding hairline and sideburns and is dressed in a suit with a visible tie. The other man stands slightly behind him, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, glasses, a bow tie, and a collared shirt. Both men are depicted in black and white with cross-hatching for shadows. The background consists of abstract lines and shading, resembling a textured wall or interior setting.
