You see three people looking up at the sky in this lithograph. They seem to be waiting for something, and their faces show curiosity. The city buildings behind them add to the scene. The people are standing together, which makes you think they're sharing an experience. This makes the moment feel more special and interesting. You can learn more about this kind of art by looking into the technique: lithography.
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.
