Ah! docteur... je crois... que j'suis poitrinaire! is a 1847 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image depicts a man standing beside a seated figure, both dressed in formal attire. The standing man wears a dark suit and white cravat, while the seated figure sports a striped shirt, pants, and a hat. The scene is set against a backdrop of a room with a table, pitcher, and bowl. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth, with the standing man's face illuminated and the seated figure's face cast in shadow. This contrast adds a sense of drama to the scene. If you're interested in exploring more works like this, you might want to look up the artist Daumier, Honoré.
