This 1842 lithograph shows two men outdoors. One man, barefoot and hunched, clutches his hat. The other stands stiff in a suit, pointing at him. The first looks exhausted and poor. The second looks official or wealthy. Daumier often drew scenes like this. He worked in Paris where rich and poor lived close but didn’t mix. This image shows how different their lives were. Look up Daumier, Honoré next.
