Croquis pris aux Champs Elysées

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts twisting and curving lines that form abstract shapes resembling tree trunks, branches, and humanoid figures. The branches appear to merge with the figures, creating a blend of natural and unusual elements. The figures wear elongated hats and seem integrated into the branches against a tranquil landscape.
