Aux Champs-Elysées

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is an illustration of a musical performance with an audience. It shows a group of women in historical clothing seated in a row. One woman in the center is holding a sheet, likely singing or reciting. In the foreground, three figures are sitting at a table; one person looks through a monocle while holding a drink, another has their back turned, and the third figure, wearing a top hat, appears to be raising a glass. The caption at the bottom mentions music and beer. The drawing features exaggerated features and a satirical style reminiscent of Honoré Daumier.
