About this work

You see a man standing alone in front of a restaurant, wearing a tall hat and dark coat. He has his hands in his pockets and looks like he's watching something. This painting is interesting because it shows a contrast between the man outside and the people inside the restaurant who are talking to each other. You can learn more about the artist who made this, Daumier, Honoré.
