About this work

Daumier’s 1843 lithograph shows three men talking in a Paris park. The man in uniform stands apart from two others in fancy coats. Their postures hint at a tense but polite chat. Daumier often mocked Paris life in prints. Here, he uses simple lines to show dignity and distance. Look up this work at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
