La Nouvelle Cendrillon

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a scene featuring a figure wearing a dress labeled "AUTRICHE" and holding a shoe, with a hooded figure and a boot shape labeled "ITALIE" in the background. The drawing is in black and white with strong lines and shaded areas. The style is reminiscent of the satirical works of Honoré Daumier. The fleeing figure's exaggerated facial and bodily features suggest caricature. The background suggests movement and action.
