L'Ordre règne à la Jamaique

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two figures. One is a large man with glasses and a hat, dressed in a suit, sitting on top of a smaller figure. The smaller person is laying face down and partially concealed beneath the larger individual. Only their limbs and the side of their face are visible. The background features stylized plants or trees. The drawing has a satirical and exaggerated style, likely from the 19th century. It contains contrasting size and demeanor of the two figures. The artwork's title is "L'Ordre règne à la Jamaïque" (Order reigns in Jamaica).
