This lithograph shows two men in a rough landscape. One stands tall, grinning. The other crouches low, inspecting a small bird in his hands. It’s funny and sad how they react. The tall man looks proud. The crouched one seems more thoughtful. Daumier often mocked human pride in simple moments. If you like this twist on everyday life, check out Daumier, Honoré.
