Une station infiniment trop prolongée

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a group of individuals sheltering from the rain. The scene is rendered with cross-hatched shading, showing a crowd under umbrellas, dressed in period clothing with top hats and long coats. The figures exhibit varied poses and expressions. The atmosphere suggests a wet, rainy day with lines that imply the direction and consistency of rain. The setting appears possibly urban.
