About this work

You see two people in a simple room. One faces you, holding an open umbrella. The other has their back turned, showing off their fancy clothes. This difference in perspective and attire is interesting because it highlights the contrast between the two people. It makes you think about their relationship and what they might be thinking. Check out the work of artist: Daumier, Honoré.
