Mon cher! vous vous êtes admirablement... évanoui...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image features two individuals shown from the waist up, engaged in conversation. Both are facing each other in a side profile view. The person on the left has a narrow face with pronounced cheekbones and a pointed nose, wearing a large, tall, brimmed hat with vertical ridges. The person on the right has a rounder face with a wide smile and is wearing spectacles perched on their lower nose, also donning a similar hat. Their hair appears to be curly and puffed out underneath the hat. Both individuals are dressed in long, dark robes with high collars over light-colored garments. The person on the right has their hand on their chest, while the person on the left extends a hand towards the other, touching their robe. The background is plain.
