J'en aurais fait un boucher ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two individuals portrayed from head to toe. On the left is a young figure with arms crossed, wearing a round hat, loose clothing, and shoes. On the right is a tall, muscular man with crossed arms, facial features including a pronounced brow and cheekbone, and an apron over his clothing. The background shows hanging pieces of meat, and the scene is rendered in a sketchy, monochrome style.
