Un échantillon de ce qu'on appèll...les beaux de paris

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two men from the waist up, facing each other in profile. The man on the left stands with one hand slightly raised. He has a prominent nose, deep-set eyes, and curly dark hair, wearing a dark coat with a high collar. The man on the right stands with arms crossed over his chest, also having a prominent nose, thin lips, high cheekbones, and neatly combed receding hair. He is dressed in a dark suit, shirt, and tie. There are no visible jewelry or objects held by either man. The background is plain with minimal detail, focusing on the two figures.
