Le barbier pense a ses créanciers...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This image shows two individuals in a barbershop setting. One person is seated holding a basin, with a cloth draped around their neck. They have exaggerated facial features and dark, slicked back hair. The other individual, standing in front, is wearing a long apron and has prominent facial features and thick, curly hair. They are holding a straight razor. In the background, there is a table with glasses and a ball-like object. The scene is depicted in a monochromatic, sketch-like style.
