About this work

This sketch shows a man in a long coat and hat, walking while reading a newspaper. His face is exaggerated—big nose, bushy eyebrows—and he looks like he’s in motion. The paper he holds says *"Revue L’Illustration"* at the top. The drawing is a quick, sketchy style that feels like it was made fast. Daumier often used this approach to capture people’s personalities in a hurry. Want to see more of this artist’s work? Check out Daumier, Honoré.
