La Carotte de l'élection

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a man greeting a rustic family. The man is well-dressed, wearing a tall top hat and holding a cane, reaching out for a handshake with another man who is more casually dressed. The second man is accompanied by a smiling woman and a child. The setting appears rural, with simple structures and a fence in the background. The title of the drawing is "La Carotte de l'Élection," hinting at a theme of persuasion or influence in an election.
