Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two individuals, one seated and the other standing. The seated person has a stern facial expression, a beard, and short hair, dressed in a cloak, tunic, and tattered clothing. The standing person has a prominent nose and a short haircut covered by a headpiece, wearing a tunic with a sash. The background features large stone ruins with French signs, including "MAGASIN DE GANTS CONTRE L’AIR AUX MAINS" and "SALON POUR LA COUPE DES CHEVEUX". The scene is outdoors with birds flying in the sky.
