This drawing shows a man in fancy old clothes, walking sideways with a big grin. His coat is long and baggy, his pants tucked into tall boots, and he’s holding something in his hand. The lines are rough and dark, almost like a sketch. The name at the bottom says "M. Kératry," and it’s signed by Daumier. This style of drawing was used in newspapers back then to make fun of people. Next, check out lithography to see how this image was made.
