Exposition universelle: Un Vrai cicerone

Julien Antoine Peulot after Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows four men standing and facing upwards. The man in the center has his left arm extended upwards, pointing at something. He is wearing a textured suit and hat, with a prominent chin and nose. To his right, a man in a top hat and coat also looks up with a slight frown. Two other figures behind them are looking forward but also focusing upwards. They wear hats and have indistinct facial features. The men wear voluminous coats and hats, suggesting formal wear from a past era. They are in front of draped fabric and a decorative architectural feature with swirling designs.
