En v'la une bonne chasse! ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two men and a dog in an outdoor setting. The drawing shows two individuals seated and interacting in a seemingly desolate landscape with a dog nearby. One figure on the left is shown seated cross-legged and holding a twisted stick, wearing a cap. The other figure on the right appears to be resting, leaning forward with their arm on their knee, also wearing a cap. The dog stands between them, looking away. The title "CROQUIS DE CHASSE" translates to "Hunting Sketch," suggesting a hunting theme, accentuated by the rifle on the ground. Text beneath the image suggests a humorous or ironic commentary. The drawing style is reminiscent of 19th-century cartoonists like Honoré Daumier.
