Promenade hygiénique et sentimentale ... is a 1846 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a group of men in formal wear standing together in a city. They're all wearing top hats and fancy coats, which suggests they're trying to show off their social status. This was a common thing to do back then, and it's interesting to think about how people used clothes to signal their wealth and importance. Check out the work of artist: Daumier, Honoré, to see more of this kind of scene.
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.
