Rentrée des Capucins dans ... Paris

1851

Honoré Daumier

Associated Names

Honoré Daumier

Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

This is a drawing of a group of capuchin monks encountering two comical figures at a gate. The image depicts four monks approaching a gate guarded by two unusual gatekeepers. One of the gatekeepers wears a conical hat with a tassel and both peer over a tall religious newspaper labeled "UNIVER RELIGIEUX." A sign on the gate reads "BARRIÈRE D'ENFER ROUTE DE MONTROUGE." The monks exhibit expressions of curiosity. This is in the style of Honoré Daumier.
