Le Couplet final

Charles Maurand after Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two figures from the waist up. The figure on the left is a man with a mustache, wearing a tall top hat and a dark, long coat. He is leaning towards the woman next to him, gesturing with one arm raised slightly. The man's clothing is formal with a visible waistcoat. The figure on the right is a woman wearing a bonnet or headscarf and a light-colored shawl or cloak. She appears to be looking up towards the man with a concentrated expression, hands grasping her clothing. The background shows a theater setting with an audience, two figures on a stage, and detailed architectural elements. A large cushion or coat is draped over a chair next to the woman.
