Eh! Ben ... puisque vous voulez qu' les bouchers ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a butcher shop scene. A woman with a headscarf is talking to a large butcher standing beside a table with meat on a platter. The walls of the shop are adorned with various hanging cuts of meat and sausages. The butcher has a scruffy appearance and the woman's posture suggests she might be pleading or complaining. The scene is depicted in a monochrome style, utilizing sharp lines and contrast.
