Au revoir, Ophélia!... ne manquez pas...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two figures engaging in a conversation at the base of a staircase. The scene features a woman leaning over the railing of a staircase, conversing with another woman standing below. The woman on the staircase is wearing a long dress, and the other woman is dressed warmly, complete with a bonnet and a shawl. The drawing has a sketch-like quality, with lines that add depth and dimension to the figures and the setting. The text and style suggest a humorous or critical tone.
