Un amour propre satisfait

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image displays an illustration of a man from the waist up. He is seated, leaning back with his left arm resting on a table. His right hand holds a large newspaper, which he appears to be reading. The man has a round face with small eyes, a prominent nose, and full lips. His hair is dark, curly, and neatly styled around his head. He is dressed in formal attire, wearing a dark jacket over a high-collared shirt and a thick white cravat. On the table in front of him, there is a tray with a carafe, a glass, and two plates with food. The background features an indistinct pattern of text, likely from the newspaper or wall.
