You see two figures in a scene with a standing man and another on all fours with dogs. The standing man has a cartoonish style with a hat and rifle, showing a mix of humor and seriousness. This mix is typical of Daumier's work, and he often used satire to comment on social situations. To learn more about this style, look into the technique: lithography.
