Un homme poursuivi ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a caricature of a man with an exaggerated hat and outfit being watched by a crowd. The drawing features a man with an overly large, plumed hat and a long-tailed coat. The people in the background appear to be watching him. Lines and textures are used to dramatize the character’s movements and facial features, creating an exaggerated effect typical of caricatures. The crowd appears in less detail, focusing the viewer's attention on the central figure.
