Ma foi! c'est comme on dit...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man in a full-body view. He is standing in a slightly hunched position, looking into a small mirror he holds. He has prominent facial features, including a large nose. The man's hair is short and combed back. He is wearing a long robe with an intricate floral pattern and dark trim. The robe is slightly open, revealing a part of his chest. In his other hand, he holds a toothbrush. Behind him is a chair with a piece of cloth draped over the back. The background is lightly shaded, indicating an indoor setting with minimal detail.
