Eh! Ben et mon verre ... si je n'ai pas ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a scene involving a seated figure, a standing figure, and a child holding the standing figure's hand around a table. The seated figure is facing away from the viewer, dressed in a loose garment and leaning on the table. The standing figure, wearing a top hat and darker clothing, appears to be looking at the seated figure. The child is holding onto the standing figure's hand. The backdrop has areas of shadow and light textures. The title "ENFANTILLAGES" is printed at the top, and a conversation is included in the illustration. The style of the drawing reflects a satirical or narrative style common in 19th-century print illustrations.
