About this work

This lithograph shows two men in a quiet room. One sits stiffly, the other leans in close. Their faces say more than words. Daumier used sharp lines to show their moods. He worked in lithography, a printing method where grease and water make the ink stick. This lets artists make many copies fast. Look for another print by Daumier called *The Print Collector*.
