Le trois légitimistes ... revenant de Claremont

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

There are three caricatured figures walking on a road between signposts for France and England. The figures are dressed in ornate clothing with exaggerated features like large noses and pointed hats. They each carry long sticks and the leading figure appears to be guiding the group towards the France sign, while the others follow hesitantly. In the background, there are signs for "ENGLAND" and "FRANCE". The drawing is done in a comical style and includes a caption that says "The three Legitimist Pilgrims returning from Claremont."
