Je ne m'étonne plus si je ne voyais pas mon chapeau ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image displays two men from the waist up. The man on the left is holding a bundle of umbrellas close to his body. He has a thin face with a prominent nose and is bald but for a ring of hair around the back of his head. He is dressed in a dark suit with a high-collared shirt. The man on the right is facing away, with one hand near his head. He wears a tall bowler hat, a long, dark overcoat, and trousers. The background is lightly sketched, showing a linear pattern suggestive of wood paneling or curtains, and part of a sofa is visible on the left side.
