Honoré Daumier

Associated Names

Honoré Daumier

Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

This is a drawing of three individuals in a scene. The central figure is adjusting a cap, with a determined expression. The other two individuals are engaging with the central figure, one with a confrontational gesture and the other seeming to explain. The scene is depicted in black and white, with shading for depth and texture in the clothing and on the cobblestone ground.
