You see two people close together in this lithograph. They seem to be sharing a moment. The person on the left looks thoughtful, while the other appears surprised, which adds to the emotional feeling of the scene. This contrast between the two people makes the scene interesting. It shows how Daumier paid attention to human interactions. To learn more about this style, look into the technique: lithography.
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.
