Cabriolet là M'sieu, là M'sieu...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of two men from head to toe. The man on the left stands in a slightly angled posture with one hand in his pocket and the other arm relaxed at his side. He has a long, narrow face with a long nose, wears a tall, cylindrical top hat, and is dressed in a formal outfit that includes a suit with a waistcoat and cravat. The man appears to be wearing dark shoes. The ground shows a cobblestone street leading to a horse-drawn carriage on the right. The man on the right seems to be conversing with the first man while holding the horse's reins. He wears a similarly styled hat, a simple coat, a scarf, loose fitting pants, and sturdy shoes. His expression appears animated, with wide eyes, pronounced eyebrows, and lips. The background includes building facades with vertical lines indicating rain, and the back of the carriage is blurry on the right side of the drawing.
