Ayant eu ... l'idée d'aller ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two people seated in armchairs facing each other. The person on the left is positioned in profile, with arms crossed, leaning slightly back in their chair. They have their hair pulled back into a bun and are wearing a long dress with sleeves. The person on the right also sits in profile and leans back, with hands resting on their lap. This person has short, curly hair and is dressed in a buttoned jacket and pants. Both figures are depicted in a shaded, sketch-like style. The background features a large window behind them, framed by curtains, through which a scenic landscape is visible, suggesting an outdoor view with stormy weather as indicated by the heavy winds and rain depicted in the sketch.
