Est-ce le garçon?

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a scene in a restaurant. The image features two individuals seated at a table with tableware and a standing figure to their left. Behind them, other figures are seated, suggesting the setting of a busy dining establishment. The standing figure is dressed formally. The room is depicted with sketchy lines that hint at wall decorations and furnishings such as a coat rack holding a coat and hat. The style of drawing is characterized by its monochromatic tones and caricatured forms.
