A la Varenne Saint-Maur

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

Three figures stand in a landscape with a small building in the distance. Two men and a woman, dressed in 19th-century attire, are depicted. The man on the left gestures towards the distant building. The setting is a barren, open area with the building appearing isolated on the horizon. The characters are drawn in a caricature style with exaggerated features and expressions. The man in the middle raises his hat in a gesture, the woman holds a parasol, and wears a bonnet. The style and composition suggest a humorous or satirical tone.
