Le chemisier

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two men standing from the waist up. The man on the left is slightly bent forward, with a serious expression, pointing towards the other man who is facing the viewer. The first man has a bald head with dark sideburns, a pointed nose, and is dressed in a dark jacket and high-collared shirt. The second man has a round face with curly dark hair and large sideburns. His expression is calm with closed eyes and slightly pursed lips. He is wearing a light-colored shirt with vertical stripes tucked into his pants. The background consists of a sketchy arc shape with faint text in French at the top, against a plain backdrop.
