Ohé! ... Combien votre lievre? ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a hunting scene. The illustration shows a man with a rifle slung over his shoulder, cupping his hands around his mouth as if calling out to another figure. This figure holds an animal by its hind legs. Beside the man, a dog sniffs the ground. The landscape suggests a rural setting with undulating terrain. The style resembles that of Honoré Daumier, known for his satirical illustrations in the 19th century, with bold, expressive lines and a sense of narrative humor.
