Eh! Bien comment me trouves-tu dans mon nouvel uniforme ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a man proudly displaying his uniform to an observing woman and child. The drawing is composed of the man in a military uniform, with a hat and epaulets. He stands proudly, hands on hips, exhibiting a confident expression. The woman beside him is dressed in period attire, smiling, while a young child looks up at the man. In the background is a framed portrait of another person in a uniform. The setting appears to be indoors. The artwork is in a 19th-century caricature style, with exaggerated clothing and expressions.
