Voila pourtant ce qu'on est convenu d'appeler ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two hunters and a dog walking together. The drawing shows the hunters walking side by side with a long-haired dog leading the way. Each hunter is dressed in traditional hunting attire, carrying long guns. The figures are in an outdoor setting, likely signifying a hunting expedition. The line work is detailed, capturing both the expressions and the texture of their clothing. The caption translates to "Here is what they agreed to call the strong emotions of hunting!" indicating an unexpected or lackluster feeling to the hunt.
