Repoussée ... une porte me reste ouverte ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two full-length figures in an interior setting. The person on the left is seated in a chair in a relaxed position, with their legs crossed and hands resting on their lap. Their head is slightly tilted forward. They have long hair and are dressed in a long gown. On the right, another person stands beside a table, slightly leaning forward. This person has short, curly hair and a more expressive face, pointing one finger forward. They wear a darker, more fitted dress. The table beside them has draped fabric over it. The background features walls with patterned wallpaper, a framed picture, and a curtain.
