Disciples de M. Cobden

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is an image of two exaggerated characters interacting chaotically with animals. One figure is handling small creatures, possibly rats, while the other appears to be alarmed and holding a broom. There is a larger creature nearby. The background features simple buildings, and the title at the top reads "SOUVENIRS DU CONGRÈS DE LA PAIX." The drawing conveys a sense of humor through the exaggerated actions and expressions.
