Voila bien des oeufs de cassés...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The illustration shows two men from the waist up, positioned side by side. The man on the left is standing with his hands near his chest, holding a small object. He has a prominent nose and a pointed chin, wears round spectacles, and has a hat on his head with tied strings at the back. His attire includes a dark jacket over a light-colored shirt. Next to him, the man on the right is leaning slightly forward as he cooks. He has an elongated nose and a slightly open mouth, with short hair peeking from under a conical hat. His attire consists of a long apron. He is holding a frying pan over what appears to be a weathered stove, with smoke billowing up. Lying on the floor beneath them are broken eggshells. The background is neutral.
