Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man in a formal suit looking surprised as a bird perches on his nose, while a woman in an elaborate dress with ruffles and feathers reacts dramatically. There are other figures in the background observing the scene. The artwork uses bold lines and shading to convey a lively and comedic atmosphere.
