Ah!... quelle singulière éducation vous donnez a votre fille?...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts three figures: two women sitting across from each other and a young girl seated on the floor. The woman on the left is shown from the back at a three-quarter view, sitting on a chair with her body turned slightly to the side. She has a neat bun hairstyle and wears glasses, a light-colored skirt, and a dark shawl. The other woman sits behind a small table, facing the viewer with her head turned to look at the woman on the left. She has neat hair and wears a dark dress with her shoulders covered. The young girl sits on the floor, her head bowed, and is either reading or sewing. She has her hair gathered at the nape with a ribbon and wears a simple dress with long sleeves. In the background, there is a framed picture on the wall above a decorative vase placed on a molding. The setting is an interior space with curtains to the right, suggesting a domestic and slightly formal environment.
