Le Ramasseur de bouts de cigares

About this work

This image shows a man walking on the street, wearing a long coat and top hat, with a bag slung over his shoulder. He is looking down at two young boys standing on the sidewalk, who are also wearing hats. The boys are facing each other, and one of them appears to be holding something in his hand. The scene is set against a backdrop of trees and buildings, with a cobblestone street running through the center. The atmosphere is one of everyday life, with the man and boys going about their daily business. The image is a lithograph on newsprint, created by Honoré Daumier in 1841. It is an example of Romanticism, a movement that emphasized emotion and individualism. If you're interested in learning more about this style, you might want to explore the movement of Romanticism.
