Charles Maurand after Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two men from the waist up. The man on the left is sitting with his body leaning back slightly, while the man on the right appears to be standing or leaning forward with one arm extended towards a camera on a tripod. The seated man has a rounded face with wide eyes and a wavy head of hair. The standing man has a more angular face, bushy facial hair, and curly hair. The seated man is wearing a dark jacket over a checkered vest and a white shirt, while the standing man wears a similar dark jacket. Both are engaged with a large camera on a tripod to the right side of the image. The background features simple, linear patterns suggesting a plain room with vertical lines.
