You see two men in a heated argument. One man grabs the other’s shirt as they lean close. The background shows more people watching. Daumier made this as a lithograph. That means he drew on stone with greasy ink. The press pressed paper onto the stone to print it. This let him reach more people fast. See how the lines look rough? That’s part of the effect. Check out Daumier, Honoré next.
