On nous avait dit de venir dans ce pays ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two men from the waist up, positioned facing each other in a forest setting. Both men are standing upright, with one of them holding a long stick on his shoulder and the other resting it against the ground. The man on the left has a thick mustache that covers his upper lip and wears a wide-brimmed hat, while the man on the right has a beard and wears a hat with a shorter brim. Both men are dressed in heavy coats suitable for cooler weather. The man on the left has a sack slung over his shoulder. The background is a forest with tall, leafless trees creating a stark landscape. No jewelry or additional objects are visible, aside from the sticks and bags they have.
