M. Dupin dans ses petits souliers

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a caricature scene. The drawing depicts a figure with exaggerated features carrying a bundle on a stick, descending stairs in a courtroom or legislative setting. The figure wears oversized shoes and has elongated limbs. The background shows a blurred audience with individuals seated in balconies. A large wooden chair is placed to the right. The scene humorously satirizes the character and situation.
