L'Hotel des Commissaires-priseurs: Le Crieur public

Charles Maurand after Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

Two individuals are depicted in the image. One person is on the left, raising one arm and bending the other, standing with exaggerated facial features, curly hair, and wearing a coat over a striped shirt. The person on the right leans forward, focusing on holding a clock-like object with sculptural detail. The setting resembles an indoor auction or exhibition space with a sculptural piece on a pedestal on the left and other blurred figures in the background. The image has a monochromatic, hand-drawn quality.
