Ell me plait beaucoup ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the upper bodies of two men and one woman. The two men are positioned closely together on the left side, each wearing a top hat and dark suits. Their faces have exaggerated features, one with a large nose and both with pronounced chins and bushy sideburns. Both men are facing towards the right, appearing engaged in conversation. They are dressed in 19th-century attire, with one wearing a scarf. A woman is partially visible in the background on the right side, with long, braided hair and a shawl over her shoulders. The background is a simple sketch without detailed scenery, set in a newspaper-style format with text above and below the illustration.
