Un homme sans asile ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man in full-body profile standing with his legs slightly apart. He is facing to the right, with his head tilted downward. The man has pronounced facial features including a long nose and a pointed chin. He wears a tall, slightly crumpled hat that mostly covers his hair, a long coat, a shirt, snug-fitting trousers, and holds a bundle wrapped in a cloth over his left shoulder. The background features a textured pattern suggesting heavy rainfall, with diagonal streaks resembling rain and patches of ground visible below.
