Oui madame ... ces animaux-la ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is an image of two figures near a railing with animals. The man is holding a top hat and leaning on the railing, while the woman in a period gown looks towards him. Behind the railing are several illustrated animals, including a goat and another animal further back. The background includes sketched trees and foliage. The style is reminiscent of a caricature or satirical illustration that may have been common in historical illustrated publications.
