Le retour est souvent difficile

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a caricature of two individuals with exaggerated features. The person on the left is leaning toward the right, supported by the figure beside them. They wear formal clothing and a tall top hat. The person on the right has a curved back and older-looking face, wearing a soft cap and less formal attire. They hold a basket or similar object. The background includes a lightly sketched landscape with a large moon or sun in the sky, a walking figure, and some indistinct structures or trees.
