On vous a pris en flagrant délit ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three men in full-body view and a fourth man partially visible from the waist up, seated behind a desk or counter. The two men on the right wear brimmed hats and dark coats. The man in the center has a prominent nose, wrinkles, and gestures with his hand while looking toward the seated man. He is dressed in a jacket over a shirt. The seated man on the left has less hair and a solemn expression, wearing a jacket over a collared shirt. The background is plain with vertical paneling or textured wall. The entire setting is sketched in a black and white style, emphasizing lines and shading.
