Oedipe

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two individuals captured from the waist up. The person on the left is seated, leaning backwards in a chair with their body slightly turned away. They have wide eyes and a pointed nose, with tightly curled hair partially covered by a fabric or veil. They are dressed in loose, flowing garments. The individual on the right is leaning forward, with a dynamic posture. This person has a bearded face with pronounced features, including wild, spiky hair. They are wearing a short-sleeved shirt layered with a vest, and their hand is visible at their side. The background is simply shaded.
