J'veux a boire! Mais puisque j'vous dis ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two men in a half-length view. The man on the left stands behind and slightly to the side of the man on the right, placing a hand on his shoulder. The man on the left has a beard, wears a hat or cap, a long-sleeved shirt rolled up to the elbows, and a waistcoat. The man on the right has disheveled hair, an expression of surprise or pleading, and wears a long coat with visible lapels. He reaches his hand towards glass containers displayed within a shopfront. Beside them on the street, there is a hat on a cobblestone surface. In the background are blurry outlines of buildings, one with a semi-visible sign.
