Eléves de sixième voulant jouer aux rhétoriciens

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a caricature of three individuals portrayed from the waist up. The person on the left is standing slightly turned to his side with his eyes squinted, appearing to make a gesture with his left hand while holding a narrow object to his lips. The middle person is leaning slightly forward, focusing on an open book or document in his hands. The third person to the right is standing with his chest out, eyes nearly closed, and lips pursed around a thin pipe. All three are dressed in formal attire with jackets. The background is minimal, with a plain, shaded backdrop.
