Dire qu'il y a des gens qui boivent de l'absinthe ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two men depicted from the waist up. The man on the left is facing slightly towards the other man, with his mouth open, while the man on the right is turned towards the first man, holding a bottle and gesturing with his other hand. Both men have distinct facial features with prominent noses and cheekbones, and they have short, curly hair. The man on the left is wearing a vest over a shirt and holds a glass. The man on the right is also dressed similarly, wearing a vest over a creased shirt, holding a bottle. The background is plain with indistinct shading, suggesting an interior setting.
