This lithograph shows four men in a tavern, chatting by a table. Two smoke pipes, one holds a glass. Sharp lines make their coats and faces jump out. Daumier loved drawing regular folks. Here he pokes fun at men who pretend to be tough but look silly. The artist used quick, scratchy marks to show motion and mood. Look up Daumier, Honoré to see more of his sharp, funny prints.
