Un jour de grande tenue

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image is a black and white illustration of two individuals from the waist up. On the left, a person stands in profile view with a mustache, short hair, and a tall, cylindrical hat. They wear a military uniform with shoulder decorations and a strap across the chest. On the right, another individual faces forward in a saluting gesture with exaggerated features and wavy hair under a large military hat. They also wear a military uniform with decorative buttons. The background shows a newspaper or printed page with unclear text.
