You see a man walking towards you with a big smile on his face. He looks confident and happy. This man is interesting because he seems to be from a specific time and place, and the way he's dressed tells us a bit about his personality. He's wearing old-fashioned clothes and a top hat, which gives us a clue about when he lived. The artist paid attention to the details of his face and clothes. You can learn more about the artist who created this image by looking up Daumier, Honoré.
Honoré-Victorin Daumier was a French painter, sculptor, and printmaker, whose many works offer commentary on the social and political life in France, from the Revolution of 1830 to the fall of the Second French Empire in 1870.
