La Rencontre du tailleur

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

Two figures in formal attire engage in a conversation or confrontation. The figure on the left leans forward, gesturing with their hand and holding paper, while the figure on the right stands upright with arms crossed, holding a bundle of fabrics. Both wear top hats and have exaggerated facial features. The background shows sketched outlines of buildings. The drawing is monochromatic in black and gray, emphasizing the focused expressions of the figures.
