Aux petits des oisons, ils donnent la mangeaille ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures, a man and a woman. The man is slightly bent forward, raising his left hand high, holding a piece of food, while his right hand is handling a rooster. The woman stands to his left, holding a wrapped child. There are several fowl around them, including ducks, chickens, and a goose. The background features a wooden fence, a thatched structure, and some trees or bushes.
