Femme de lettre humanitaire se livrant sur l'homme ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three individuals in a cartoon sketch style. Two individuals stand next to each other, covering their bodies. The man is on the left, holding a cane in each hand. He has a long nose, a top hat, and a formal suit. Next to him, a woman faces slightly toward the third figure. She wears a bonnet, has wide eyes, and wears a long checkered dress with a shawl. The third individual, an older woman, is hunched forward, extending a bowl toward the couple. She appears wrinkled with her hair tied back under a headscarf, wearing a loose top and long skirt. The background includes a textured wall and some text above and below the image.
