Un pierrot déplumé

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

Two men are standing facing each other. The man on the left is leaning forward, holding a paper in his right hand with an expressive demeanor. He has a prominent nose, slightly furrowed brow, short messy hair, and is wearing a dark coat, pants, and shoes. A top hat is on the counter beside him. The man on the right is standing upright, facing the other man. He has sunken cheeks, a protruding chin, and is wearing a cap. He is dressed in a light-colored Pierrot clown outfit with pom-poms on his shirt. The background shows a shaded area with architectural elements like a column and paneling surrounding the figures.
