Tiens... notre jardin... produit des perdreaux!...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image features two figures, a man and a woman, depicted from head to foot. The man is on the left, standing with his legs apart and one foot stepping forward. He has curly hair, a broad nose, an open mouth, and wears a plaid suit with a hat. The woman is standing upright with her hands held in front of her, curly short hair, and wearing a long dress with a shawl or cape. In front of them is a bird with long tail feathers on the ground. The background shows an outdoor setting with a fence, climbing plants, and lightly sketched vegetation. The style of the image is illustrative and monochromatic.
