Manière polie de mettre ... a la porte ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

Two men are depicted in full body profile. The man in the foreground is leaning against a door, his left arm extended, holding it shut. He wears a long coat, pants, and holds a top hat in his other hand. His facial features include a prominent nose and furrowed brow, with gray, tousled hair. Behind him, another man stands, angled towards the first man, playing a violin. He wears a jacket and pants and has disheveled hair. In the background, a textured wall is visible with framed artwork hanging. The image is in monochrome with cross-hatching shading for detail.
