About this work

You see two people in a room, talking. They seem upset, with the woman pointing at the man. This conversation looks tense, and the artist shows he's good at drawing emotions. The woman's gesture and the man's reaction tell us a lot about what's happening. Daumier was interested in how people interact with each other. He liked to show the little moments that reveal a lot about relationships. Check out the work of artist: Daumier, Honoré, to see more of his observations on everyday life.
