Chargé ... de garder les insignes de la souverainté

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a person sitting on a large, striped trunk with their legs crossed and arms crossed over their chest. The person has a comical facial expression, and is wearing glasses, curly hair styled in a bob with a hat, and a long, flowing dress with detailed sleeves and buttons. To the left is an ornate chair, and the background has draped fabric and a piece of cloth on the floor.
