Le danger de faire voir a des enfants ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image is a vintage illustration of a crowded scene with several people visible from the waist up. In the center, an adult male in a top hat and holding glasses is interacting with a baby dressed in a checkered outfit and a large bonnet, who appears to be crying. A woman in a bonnet is leaning towards them with a smile. Other adults are also visible, with one wearing a cap and another with glasses. The background shows an art gallery with multiple frames on the walls, indoor architectural elements like pillars, and framed artworks, suggesting a public exhibition or similar venue.
