Décidément nous nous amusons trop, Guillochard!... is a 1849 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image depicts two men in military uniforms, one seated and the other standing. The seated man is leaning back in his chair, looking up at the standing man with a mixture of amusement and annoyance. The standing man is holding a goblet in his right hand, which appears to be filled with a liquid, and is gesturing with his left hand as if speaking or making a point. The scene is set against a backdrop of a room with a window, curtains, and a table or desk in the background. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of camaraderie and playful banter between the two men.
