Le char de l'état en 1871

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a horse-drawn cart. The image features a cart with large wheels being pulled by two horses. Two characters are seen in the cart; one is controlling the horses with a whip, while the other sits beside them. Above the characters are words "VERSAILLES" and "PARIS." The drawing is done in a bold outlined style with hatching to emphasize texture and shadow, creating a stark monochrome illustration. The scene seems to convey a political or social message through the characters and their expressions.
