Qué qu'vous êtes ... devenu, m'sieu Lebrun? ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two men in conversation. One man is in formal attire while the other is dressed as a street vendor or tradesman, based on his apron and rolled-up sleeves. The setting suggests a street or market environment, with vague architectural lines in the background and shelving that holds several jugs or containers. The drawing uses bold outlines and shading to depict the characters and their interaction. The caption below the image adds context but is not fully explained without translation.
