Les écuries d'Augias

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is an illustration of a muscular figure holding a club, surrounded by waves and labeled currents. The central figure is depicted as strong and commanding, dressed in minimal clothing. They hold a large club in one hand and a cloth in the other. The background features swirling water-like forms filled with text such as "markets" and "accounts." The scene conveys a sense of strength and leadership in tumultuous conditions.
