La voyez-vous la comète? ... La-haut ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two men shown in full body. The man on the left is pointing upwards with his right arm while slightly leaning forward. He is wearing a coat that reaches below his knees and a flat cap. His facial features include a broad nose and he has a short beard or stubble. The man on the right is standing upright, holding an umbrella under his left arm. He is wearing a top hat and a long, striped coat that drapes past his knees. His facial features include a prominent nose and sideburns. The men's clothing appears to be from the 19th century, and the scene is a monochromatic illustration. In the background, there's a cityscape with buildings and a starry night sky.
