Hola, hé! Madame l'hotesse

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts the upper body of a seated man in profile. He is facing to the right, with his left hand raised and pinching a thin line or thread in front of his face. He has a dark, slicked-back hair with curls on the sides and sideburns. The man is dressed in a dark jacket over a light collared shirt and a patterned cravat. On the table in front of him are a bottle, a filled glass, and a plate with a spoon. In the background, there is a printed page with text and the title "SILHOUETTES" at the top.
