La fourmi

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a man leaning forward in a walking pose, holding a bag to his chest. He wears a hat with wide brims and two protrusions, a long overcoat, tight trousers, and carries an umbrella and a cane. There is a building labeled "CAISSE D'EPARGNE" in the background with a crowd gathered around it. The artist's signature "h. Daumier" is visible at the bottom left. The drawing is set against a textured paper background.
