About this work

You see two people reading a big newspaper called "Le Charivari". They're really into it, one wearing a fancy hat and the other glasses. The scene is funny, but it also says something about the people in it. The guy with the hat looks pretty fancy, while the other guy looks more serious. This difference makes the scene more interesting, like a little joke. Check out the work of artist: Daumier, Honoré to see more like this.
