Adélaide...Adélaide...il me semble que je vois deja venir la comète !!... is a 1857 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph depicts two people in a dimly lit room. The woman on the left, dressed in a long dress and headscarf, holds a candle and appears to be warning or alerting someone. The man on the right, wearing a hat and holding a telescope, seems to be looking out the window at something in the distance. The scene is set against a dark background, with the only light coming from the candle held by the woman. The overall atmosphere is one of anticipation and concern.
