Faut-il qu'un animal soit bête

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two men in a hunting scene. One man is in the foreground, standing defensively with a surprised expression on his face, holding a rifle. In front of him, a rabbit is leaping away. The second man, positioned slightly to the left and behind, is also armed and dressed for hunting. The background includes a tree and sparse landscape, with birds in the sky. The drawing has soft tones and shading.
