Repos de la France

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a man seated on a large, ornate armchair with a crown on top. He is viewed from behind, leaning forward with his arms on the armrests. His head is slightly tilted down and he wears a hat, dark jacket, and light trousers. Two cannon barrels are beside the chair, and a rooster is visible. In the background, a woman stands with her hair up and covered in a shawl.
