Le Protecteur

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two people in a standing position, viewed from head to toe. The person on the left is standing upright with their hands tucked into their coat pockets. This person has a thin, elongated face with prominent facial features and is wearing a tall, black top hat. Their attire consists of a long, buttoned coat and dark trousers, with black shoes. The person on the right is leaning slightly forward, extending both arms towards the other person. This individual has a scruffy appearance with long hair and a beard. They are wearing a light-colored hat, a long coat identical to the first person, but the texture and fit appear more worn. The background is a simple, shaded wall.
