Va te faire achever pour moi

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two figures interacting in an arid landscape. One figure is standing, wearing a robe and a large headdress, while the other is seated, holding a staff. The staff is held by both figures. In the background, "ROME" is written, and near the seated figure, "FRANCE" is inscribed on a shield. The drawing is characterized by strong black lines and stylized forms.
