Nouveaux chapeaux de dames ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two central figures. The man stands upright holding an umbrella in one hand and the woman walks beside him. The man has exaggerated facial features, a long nose, and arched eyebrows, and is wearing a top hat, checked waistcoat, dark coat, and light-colored pants. The woman wears a wide-brimmed hat covering her face, a flowing gown with a tightly fitted bodice, and a full skirt. She holds a small object. In the background, many figures with similar wide-brimmed hats walk through a park with trees.
