Dis donc, mon homme, s'ils savaient ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an exhibition entrance labeled "Exposition Fromages Volailles" with several figures gathered in a queue. The drawing shows individuals lining up outside an entrance, eagerly waiting for entry to the exhibition. An assembly of people stand in line outside the entrance, with two figures observing the queue. The style of the drawing includes detailed attention to caricature. The shading and line work effectively convey texture and expression, capturing a moment of social observation with a hint of humor.
