Réapparition de la jeunesse dorée en 1851

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two men standing facing slightly toward each other. The man on the left has his eyes closed with a smug smile and long, wavy hair, while the man on the right has a wide smile with round cheeks and shorter, wavy hair. Both men wear ornate coats with wide lapels and sashes; the left man’s coat has a floral pattern, while the right man’s coat features intricate designs. They also wear tall, bicorne hats and cravats around their necks. The man on the right appears to gesture toward a symbolic statue labeled "RÉPUBLIQUE." The background is plain with no additional scenery or objects.
