Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

This is an image of a man on horseback next to a large bouquet held by multiple figures. The drawing shows a caricature of a bearded man wearing a hat riding a horse and holding a stick. Several figures are humorously carrying an oversized bouquet with three faces emerging from it. The sketch is detailed with shading and line work to depict motion. The artwork conveys whimsy and critique, typical of satirical art.
