Mr Prudhomme...ce n'est pas moi qui me ferai ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a man holding a small dog in an indoor setting with two other figures present. The scene depicts a portly man wearing a tall hat, spectacles, and a suit holding a floppy-eared dog aloft in front of him. To the left, a person leans on a counter. In the background on the right, another figure sits with a second dog by their side, observing the scene. The room has a plain interior, suggested by the presence of a counter and drawers. The artwork uses detailed lines and shading to convey texture and depth.
