Tu connais bien l'gros député d'en face ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of four figures sitting on a ledge in an urban setting. In the background, there are tall, indistinct urban buildings. The drawing is monochrome, utilizing shading and linework for depth and texture. Fine lines and cross-hatching are used for shadows and to suggest materials. Text is integrated into the image beneath the scene.
