Ce perdreau est mort sur mon terrain ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an outdoor scene with two figures and a dog among cabbages. The image depicts a rustic setting where the figures are in the midst of a conversation. One figure holds a rifle and looks towards the other figure who is holding a dead bird and gesturing with a hand raised to his mouth. In the background, cabbages are strewn across the ground. The drawing has a humorous tone.
