About this work

You see two men talking on a riverbank, one gesturing and the other listening. They're well-dressed and seem to be enjoying themselves. The scene is pretty relaxed, with one man leaning on a cane. The men's conversation looks important, but we don't know what they're talking about. This kind of scene was common in Daumier's work, showing everyday life. He liked to show people being people, without making a big deal about it. Check out the work of artist: Daumier, Honoré, to see more scenes like this.
