Il est devenu pro-pri-é-taire!

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an older woman and an older man. The woman is hunched slightly forward, clasping her hands together in front of her chest as if addressing the man. She has wrinkles and wears a bonnet, long dress, and shawl. The man stands upright, holding a cane in one hand and the other hand in his pocket. He has a long face with facial lines, a mustache, and wears a tall hat, dark coat, light-colored trousers, a waistcoat, a shirt, and a bow tie. In the background, there is a staircase railing on the left side and a door labeled "CONCIERGE." The image is shaded with cross-hatching.
