Le nouvel Icare ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image features a figure falling through the air with an exaggerated pose and expression. The person wears a helmet, shoulder-length hair, is shirtless, and wears dark pants. They have broken wings on their back. The background includes outlines of buildings labeled "BOMARSUND" and "SEBASTOPOL," with a sun in the top right corner. The ground is minimally depicted with simple lines. No jewelry or additional objects are present.
