Le nouveau polichinelle napolitan is a 1855 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see exaggerated puppet-like figures on a stage in this lithograph. They have big noses and oversized costumes. The scene shows a moment of tension between the figures. The central figure is armed with a club, looming over another. This scene is likely a commentary on something, but it's not clear what. Check out the work of artist: Daumier, Honoré for more like this.
