Tenez, je viens de tuer un magnifique ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two men illustrated in a black and white drawing. Both men's full bodies are visible. The man on the left is standing with his body slightly turned to the right, holding up a rooster in one hand. He has a narrow, elongated face and is wearing a flat cap. He is dressed in outdoor or hunting clothes, including a coat and trousers, with a bag slung across his body and a rifle slung over his shoulder. The man on the right stands facing the left with both hands holding a rifle vertically in front of him. His face is rugged with a distinct nose, and he is also wearing a cap. He is dressed similarly in outdoor attire, featuring a jacket and trousers, and has a bag at his side. A hunting dog stands on all fours next to the man on the right, looking upward at the rooster. The background features a simple, slightly textured landscape suggesting an outdoor setting, with some abstract shapes indicating clouds or distant hills.
