You see figures in big, puffy dresses standing in a forest. These dresses are so big they look like balloons. The artist used heavy lines and shading to make them stand out from the natural surroundings. This contrast is interesting because it shows how different the people are from the trees and plants around them. Check out the work of artist: Daumier, Honoré to see more like this.
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.
