Soyez tranquille bourgeois, on connait

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two men from the waist up engaged in conversation. One man gestures at the other. The man on the left holds a stick and has a scruffy beard with textured hair under a hat. He wears a wrinkled jacket over a striped shirt. The man on the right faces left and is well-groomed with a clean-shaven face and a top hat. He wears a long coat and cravat and holds an object resembling a cane or umbrella. The backdrop includes a blurred door frame, suggesting an indoor setting.
