Fureur de Mr Cobden ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two stylized figures in a confrontational scene. It shows two caricature-like figures engaged in a dynamic interaction. One figure is kicking the other, who is holding a newspaper with an expression of surprise. The backdrop suggests an indoor setting, indicated by the presence of a table with a book on it, and frames on the wall. The figures are executed in a highly exaggerated manner, emphasizing their facial expressions and physical gestures. The drawing uses strong lines and cross-hatching to create shading and texture.
