Vingt sous de denier a Dieu...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-body view of three people. On the left, an older woman stands facing two other figures. Her face is shown in profile, with distinct facial features and she wears a headscarf covering her hair. She is dressed in a long, simple dress and is holding a pair of spectacles in one outstretched hand. On the right, a man and a woman stand close together, with their backs turned mostly towards the viewer. The man is dressed in formal attire, including a long coat and a top hat, while the woman wears a shawl over her head and shoulders. The background depicts a simple architectural setting, featuring the corner of a building or a doorway and cobblestone pavement. The overall scene is grayscale.
