A Naples - Le meilleur des rois... (2nd plate)

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man seated on a ledge, facing to the side with his hands resting on the ledge. He has a round face, prominent nose, short hair, and a crown with a fleur-de-lis. He wears a detailed uniform with medals and a sash. The background features a cityscape with tall buildings, swirling clouds in the sky, and human figures below, some moving and some lying still. The scene conveys a sense of depth and grandeur.
