Il parait... que mon gaillard est un grand scélérat... is a 1848 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph depicts a scene of two men in conversation, with one man dressed in a long coat and hat, while the other wears a shorter coat and hat. The man in the long coat appears to be speaking, with his hand gesturing as if emphasizing a point. The background of the image is simple, with a wall and door visible behind the two men. The overall atmosphere of the scene is one of seriousness and intensity, with the two men engaged in a seemingly important conversation. For more information on the artist behind this work, look up Daumier, Honoré.
Honoré-Victorin Daumier was a French painter, sculptor, and printmaker, whose many works offer commentary on the social and political life in France, from the Revolution of 1830 to the fall of the Second French Empire in 1870.
