Tiens c't'idée! Le municipal qui boit un coup...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures in the foreground. The figure on the left is leaning back, shirtless, wearing knee-length shorts, with disheveled hair. He has a surprised expression. On the right, the second figure is partially submerged in water, lying on his back with kicking legs. He wears long pants and a dark jacket, with curly hair. His left arm is raised above the water. In the background, smaller figures are in motion or seated near a body of water with stone or wooden structures. The setting has a sketched backdrop with simplistic outlines of structures and distant figures.
