Un nouvel anobli

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a caricature of two men from the waist up. The man on the left has a raised eyebrow, a slightly open mouth, a long nose, and slicked-back hair. The man on the right leans forward slightly, has a pointed nose, and wears a coat with a prominent collar and white cravat. Both men wear suits with light waistcoats and white shirts. The background has vertical shaded lines resembling curtains or shadows, suggesting an indoor setting. French text above the figures reads "LES BEAUX JOURS DE LA VIE."
