Comment, madame ... J'ai l'imprudence ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two full-length figures facing each other against a simple background. On the left, a man stands with his body turned to the side, extending his right arm and pointing. He has exaggerated features with a tight-fitting suit, a tailcoat, a cravat or scarf around his neck, and a cap on his head. His face shows strong lines. On the right, a woman faces towards the man with a scarf covering her head. She wears a long, dark gown. The background is plain and slightly textured, suggesting the interior of a room.
