Trop étroit pour deux

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two figures in regal clothing seated on a throne. The illustration shows two characters, both dressed in opulent, regal attire with respective crowns. The characters are drawn in an exaggerated, satirical manner. They are sitting closely together on a single throne. The style is indicative of a caricature, with exaggerated facial features and postures. The surrounding space gives an impression of being from a printed publication.
