Enlèvement d'une fille de l'air

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a scene with a floating figure and two observers on a balcony. The scene shows exaggerated caricatures, with a figure floating in the air reaching out towards two men on a balcony. The men have exaggerated features and expressions, with one wearing a bowler hat and the other wearing a top hat. Below is a sketch of a town or city landscape, possibly Paris, as seen from a great height. Dialogue is included underneath to add context to the encounter.
