Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two men walking in profile from left to right. Both men are bending slightly forward as they walk. The man on the left has a beard, a wide-brimmed hat, and a plaid outfit. He is holding a staff. The man on the right is wearing a similar wide-brimmed hat, a long coat, and checkered pants. He is holding an artist's portfolio and a stick. Both men have packs on their backs. The background shows a barren, rocky landscape with sparse trees in the distance under a cloudy sky.
