Soirée chez M. Dupin

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two separate scenes depicting caricatures of public figures. The upper scene labeled "Physionomie de l'Assemblée" portrays a group in what appears to be a parliamentary or assembly setting. The lower scene titled "Queue pour la tribune publique" shows a line of similarly caricatured figures waiting in a snowy environment. The artwork by its style suggests a mid-19th century caricature commonly used to critique or humorize societal and political figures.
