Ce qui m'chiffonne c'est... douze vols!... is a 1846 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a man sitting on a bench, looking at another man standing in front of him. The seated man is wearing a dark jacket and light pants, while the standing man is dressed in a dark suit and top hat. The background of the painting is a plain wall with a window on the right side. The standing man appears to be speaking to the seated man, who is listening intently. The atmosphere of the painting is one of seriousness and gravity, with the two men engaged in a somber conversation. This painting is a work by the artist Daumier, Honoré.
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.
