Oui, ma chère, mon mari a ravalé ma dignité...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two women standing and embracing each other. The woman on the left has her head slightly turned upward, with distinct facial features emphasized. She wears a dark, long dress with loose fabric covering her head. The woman on the right is turned inward, embracing the first woman with her head on her shoulder. She has neatly styled hair and wears a long dress of a lighter tone. Both women are surrounded by the drapery of their clothes. The background features a curtain with flowing lines, indicating an indoor setting. No jewelry or objects are shown in the scene.
