Le mari. Bobonne veux-tu l'étrenne de ma barbe?

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

There are two figures in the image. One figure is standing slightly hunched, leaning forward and pointing at his chin. The second figure is seated in a high-backed chair with her hands resting on an object in her lap. The man has exaggerated facial features, short hair, and is wearing a loose, long-sleeved shirt, dark trousers, and shoes. The woman is wearing a headscarf or cap, a long dress with patterns, and is looking up at the man. The background shows a simple, textured wall and what appears to be an interior setting with curtains to the right.
