J'ai beau laver, l'ancienne couleur...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person from the back, standing with their arms lifted and holding a cloth stretched between their hands. The person has neatly styled hair tied at the back, and is wearing a long, dark garment. They stand next to a wooden washtub filled with water. The cloth they are holding displays the words "PREMIER DRAPEAU." The background is simplistic.
