Dire que je n'ai pas pu tirer ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

Two men are seated on a rocky surface. The man on the left is slightly leaning forward with his hands in his pockets, while the man on the right has his arms folded across his chest. They both wear hunting clothing. One cap has a flatter brim while the other has a round top. The man on the left has a prominent nose and chin with a slightly cartoonish expression. The man on the right has a more neutral expression with features that include a smaller nose and thinner lips. In between the men are two upright shotguns resting on the ground, and by their feet sits a dog with its attention focused on the man to the right. The background consists of shaded trees and rocky formations.
