Le constructeur du Léviathan se décidant ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two stylized, caricature-like men. One man kneels on the left, clasping his hands together, with distinct facial features and tousled hair. He wears a jacket and checked trousers. The other man stands on the right, leaning forward with crossed arms for support, dressed in a draped robe. Both have specific facial features against a background of stylized clouds and a tall, pointed structure. A signature is visible in the lower left corner, along with French text below the illustration.
