Théatre de palais royal...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of three characters in a dramatic scene. The image features exaggerated expressions and postures typical of a theatrical or comical situation. One figure stands in the foreground facing left, while another figure to the right appears startled. In the background, a third figure seems to be in mid-motion with surprise or alarm. The setting shows lightly sketched furnishings and walls.
