La Vue

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

Three people are standing close together, looking up towards the sky. The tallest person in the middle leans back slightly. The man has exaggerated features, long pointed nose, and a chin that juts forward. He wears a tall top hat, a dark coat, and a light-colored shirt. A woman with large round eyes and a similar nose stands behind him. On the other side, a child wearing a wide-brimmed hat looks up. In the background, there are tall buildings, another structure, and a crescent moon. The image is sketched in a monochromatic style.
