Ca vous coiffe comme un gant!

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is an illustration showing two people from the waist up. The person on the left is standing in profile, wearing a tall top hat, with exaggerated facial features. They have a prominent nose, pointed chin, deep-set eyes, and short curly hair. They wear a collared coat with a high neck and no visible jewelry. The person on the right is in a three-quarter view, also standing and holding a shiny top hat in front of them with both hands. This person has a rounded nose, mustache, receding hairline, and short, slicked-back hair. They are dressed in a dark, fitted jacket with a high collar. The background features a repeating pattern of hat shapes, suggesting a hat shop. A header above them reads "TYPES PARISIENS".
