You see two men talking in this lithograph. They are very different - one is tall and thin, the other is short and round. This contrast is funny and makes a point about people. The artist used exaggeration to make his point. He made the tall man very skinny and the short man very stout. This was a way for him to comment on society. To learn more about this kind of printmaking, look into the technique: lithography.
