Le séduira-t-il? Les Paris sont ouverts

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image displays two figures from head to toe. The person on the left has dark hair tied back, wearing a dress and crown, standing with a hand on the hip. The figure on the right is taller, wearing a crown, cape, and boots, leaning towards the first person and holding their hand. In the background, two groups of soldiers face each other with rifles and bayonets. The setting seems to be a public place or arena with onlookers.
