Se demandant si, le duel fini, ils ne vont pas etre plumes

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two anthropomorphic birds dressed in human clothing engaged in a duel, set against a backdrop of a satirical map. The drawing depicts two bird-like figures with exaggerated human attributes, standing in a handshake pose, each holding a sword. The figures are detailed with long beaks and plumed hats, and they wear shirts with rolled-up sleeves and pants. The scene appears to represent a duel. The background contains outlines of birds with names such as 'BAVOIRE,' 'HESSE,' and 'SAXE.'
