Pas trop écourté, s'il vous plait

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two figures. One figure is holding fabric labeled "LIBERTE" while the other, labeled "CONSTITUTION," appears to be adjusting it. The standing figure holds a garment that reads "LIBERTE," while the seated figure seems to be adjusting its length, with the inscription "CONSTITUTION" near its feet. The scene is set on a minimal background, emphasizing the interaction between the figures. The drawing employs strong lines and a monochrome palette.
