Eh! Bien ... mon ami, a quoi penses-tu? ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures in the center. The man on the left is leaning over with his head lowered, resting his arm on the table, and his face looking towards the viewer. He has short, dark, unkempt hair and wears a shirt with rolled-up sleeves and pants. Standing beside him, an older woman is leaning slightly forward towards the man. She has a round face with light, short hair covered by a cap and wears a long-sleeved top and a dark skirt. In her hands, she holds a candlestick with a lit candle. On the table beside the man, there is another candle and a few items. The background is shaded, indicating a dimly lit room with the candlelight suggesting a nighttime setting.
