Hein! comme il regarde les cervelas...

Honoré Daumier

This is a drawing of three exaggerated caricatures at a table with slices of meat in front of them. Exaggerated sausages hang above their heads. The composition features distorted facial features and enlarged hands. The expressions convey a mix of anticipation and absurdity. The background is sketched with informal lines, depicting a domestic setting. The drawing presents a satirical commentary on domestic life or consumption.
