Les maris ne sont pas ce qu'un vain peuple pense!

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image is a black and white illustration showing two individuals, a woman and a man, in full-length view. The woman is positioned on the left side of the image, standing with her body slightly angled to the right as she extends her right arm outward with her index finger pointing. Her facial features are expressive with her mouth open, and she has dark hair pulled back. She is wearing a long dress with a high neckline and long sleeves. The man stands on the right side with his body facing forward, his hands resting in his pants pockets. He has a more reserved expression with a slight furrowed brow and neat, short hair. He is wearing a formal outfit comprising a jacket and pants, along with a high-collared shirt. The background is illustrated with a simple, textured design featuring floral patterns and vertical lines, adding a decorative element. These patterns suggest an indoor setting.
