Honoré Daumier

Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

This is a drawing of a chaotic scene involving animals inside a room. The drawing depicts a dog leaping off a table, causing a ceramic pot to fall to the floor. A cat is fleeing from the commotion across the floor. Pieces of the broken pot are scattered around. On the left side, a woman has her arms raised and hands clasped. The room contains framed artworks hanging on the wall. This is in the style of Honoré Daumier.
