Un Jour de grande revue

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures in full body view, both positioned as if marching. The person on the left is larger, has a prominent chin, furrowed brows, and a serious expression. Their hair is short and light. They wear a military-style uniform with a hat, a white cross belt, and boots, carrying a rifle on their shoulder. The figure on the right is smaller, wears a similar military-style uniform with a hat and a sword, and marches alongside the larger figure. In the background, there is a sketched interior scene with large, indistinct shapes suggesting walls, and a ground paved with cobblestones.
