2 heures - Le gouter d'Azor

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an interaction outside a shop. Two individuals are standing on a stone path, with one holding a cane and the other holding a circular object in their hand, possibly food, while a small dog stands nearby on its hind legs, reaching towards the item. In the background, there is a window display with what appears to be baked goods and a hanging poultry item. The style of the drawing is detailed with shading and expressive character features. The setting gives the impression of a comical everyday scene from the 19th century.
