La parisiens dans l'attente de la ...comète

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

Three individuals are shown standing, looking up toward the sky. The person on the left is leaning back slightly, holding an umbrella under their arm, with their mouth open. They are wearing a long coat and a tall hat. The middle individual stands with an open mouth, in a voluminous dress, a scarf around the neck, and a wide-brimmed bonnet. The person on the right is standing some distance behind the first two, looking upwards, wearing similar clothing to the person on the left, with a tall hat and a long coat, with hands in pockets. The background has outlines of buildings, suggesting a city setting. The ground is lightly detailed and there are small dots in the sky.
