Carotte du voltigeur is a 1844 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a man in a top hat and coat standing face-to-face with a figure dressed in a white robe and hat. The man in the top hat appears to be engaged in conversation with the robed figure, who is holding a cloth in his hand. The background of the image is not clearly defined, but it appears to be a simple, unadorned space. The robed figure's attire and the man's formal clothing suggest a sense of contrast between the two individuals. The robed figure's clothing is loose-fitting and plain, while the man's clothing is more formal and structured. This image is a lithograph by Daumier, Honoré, created in 1844.
