You see two men sitting at a dining table, likely in a café. They seem to be in the middle of a conversation. The men's expressions and clothes are detailed, showing the artist's attention to everyday life. The artist paid close attention to the men's faces and what they're wearing. This tells us about the people and times the artist was drawing from. Check out the work of artist: Daumier, Honoré, to learn more about his style.
