You see two men facing each other in this lithograph. They're in the middle of a heated argument. The details of their interaction are what make this work interesting - the way their bodies are positioned and the tension between them. This tension reflects the social and political climate of the time. It was a period of great change and upheaval in France. Check out the work of artist: Daumier, Honoré to learn more about his commentary on social issues.
