Comment, ils emportent mon argent ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two groups of people facing each other. On the left, a large figure stands in profile with exaggerated features and a tall, elaborate hat. They wear a military or ceremonial uniform with a sword by their side. On the right, a group of smaller figures gesture with raised hands. They wear cloaks and hats, resembling judges or officials with large cuffs on their coats. The background shows a newspaper layout without specific environmental details or landscapes.
