Trois heures

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a group of men lined up at a counter. The men are presented as caricatures, with exaggerated facial features and various styles of 19th-century attire. Some men are visible from the waist up, while others are shown in full standing positions. Each man is engaged with their surroundings, either facing the desk or interacting with others nearby. The background includes additional people and furnishings found in a bureaucratic setting.
