You see two men in a simple landscape, one of them looking happy and the other surprised. The men are interacting in a playful way, with vibrant expressions and dynamic poses. This interaction is interesting because it shows how Daumier used humor to comment on social issues. Check out the work of artist: Daumier, Honoré, to see more examples of this style.
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.
