This sketch shows two older men in a dimly lit room. One stands stiffly in a long coat, his hands clasped. The other leans in, looking up with a wry smile, his coat open and pants loose. The walls are plain, and the floor has a few scattered shadows. The man on the right seems to be mid-speech, his gesture lively. Daumier often drew everyday people in candid moments like this. Next, check out lithography to see how this sketch was made.
