About this work

You see a man and a woman in a simple room. The man is standing with trousers in hand, looking casual. He seems to be talking to the woman, who is sitting and reading a book. She looks calm and composed, which contrasts with the man's pose. This scene is created using lithography, a technique that involves drawing on stone to print images, similar to the work of artist Daumier, Honoré.
