Perdu, monsieur... perdu sur tous les points... is a 1845 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph depicts two men in conversation. The man on the left is dressed in a dark suit and top hat, while the man on the right wears a black robe and a tall hat, holding a book under his arm. The background is a simple white wall with a doorway. The artist's use of shading and texture adds depth to the image, drawing the viewer's attention to the facial expressions and body language of the two men. The contrast between the formal attire of the two figures creates a sense of tension, inviting the viewer to ponder the context of their conversation.
