Sire! Lisbonne est prise... (Sire! Lisbon has been captured...)

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two figures standing waist up. One figure is on the left side and the other on the right side. The person on the left is in a military stance with distinct attire, including a tall helmet with a plume, epaulettes, and medals. Their face has a caricatured appearance, with a prominent nose. They wear dark clothing with light gloves and boots and have a sword by their side. The person on the right is in a loose nightshirt, yawning with eyes partially closed and stretching one arm up while scratching their head with the other hand. They have short, slightly messy hair and sideburns. A bay-like object is partially visible near the person on the right, suggesting a piece of furniture. The background is plain, emphasizing the two foreground figures.
