Ah! ça mais... arriverons-nous bientôt?

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This image depicts a person looking through a floor trapdoor from below. The room has a textured or patterned wall. An elderly figure stands inside the room, bent forward while holding a set of keys. Another figure is partially visible from the trapdoor, their hands clasped on the edge as they look upwards. The drawing seems to focus on the interaction between these two figures in a confined space. The title at the top is "LOCATAIRES ET PROPRIÉTAIRES," suggesting a relationship dynamic.
