La femme. Je viens de découvrir une mèche...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two individuals, a man and a woman. The man is gesturing with one hand while holding a comb over his head. He has dark, medium-length hair styled to one side and a mustache, wearing a light, loose-fitting long-sleeved shirt and patterned trousers. The woman is facing the man, leaning slightly forward, with dark hair pulled back into a bun. She is wearing a dark dress with fitted sleeves and a lighter-colored apron or underskirt. The background resembles a wall with simple repetitive motifs, suggesting an indoor setting.
