You see a man sitting, looking into a mirror, while another man is about to put a crown on his head. This scene is interesting because it shows a quiet moment between two people. The man in the mirror looks thoughtful, and the other man seems focused on what he's doing. You can learn more about this kind of artwork by looking into the technique: lithography.
Honoré-Victorin Daumier was a French painter, sculptor, and printmaker, whose many works offer commentary on the social and political life in France, from the Revolution of 1830 to the fall of the Second French Empire in 1870.
