Un jour de verglas

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two exaggerated, caricature-like figures in an urban street setting. One figure appears to be slipping on a slick surface with a dramatic expression while the other figure, holding a broom, is bent slightly as if to assist or caution the slipping individual. The background indicates an urban environment. The drawing uses a monochrome palette reminiscent of Honoré Daumier's style.
