Un homme dans ses petits souliers

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image displays two men standing opposite each other. Both men are facing each other frontally. The man on the left has a sharp nose, pointed chin, short hair under a tall, black top hat. He is wearing a formal suit with long, checkered trousers and a coat, holding a small hat behind his legs. The man on the right also wears a tall top hat, has a fuller face with broader features, slightly longer hair beneath the hat. He is dressed in a long coat and trousers, carrying a small item in his hand. The background shows a sketched cityscape with rows of buildings on both sides, enclosed by a lattice fence. The sky above is shaded.
