Casmajou -- Ratapoil (tous deux en choeur)

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two skeletal figures dressed in tattered clothing, standing facing each other. Each figure holds a walking stick and wears hats and coats that accentuate their skeletal features. Their expressions suggest conversation. The illustration uses strong lines and shadowing to create a dramatic effect. It includes a dialogue below, adding a narrative layer to the image.
