Grand Gueux va! je voudrais t'y voir

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a domestic scene in a public establishment. The drawing shows four figures. One figure, a woman, is leaning towards a standing man who is holding a glass. The man is wearing dark trousers and a light-colored shirt, and he is holding a stick or cane. In the background, there are two other figures engaged in the setting. There is a table with bottles and another small table in the foreground. The style of the drawing is characterized by expressive line work and a focus on social interaction. The background suggests an indoor, tavern-like environment.
