You see a man sitting at a desk, looking frustrated. He's surrounded by papers and art supplies. Check out the artist's expression - it seems like he's fed up with his work.

Honoré-Victorin Daumier was a French painter, sculptor, and printmaker, whose many works offer commentary on the social and political life in France, from the Revolution of 1830 to the fall of the Second French Empire in 1870.
