Two Men is a 1844 graphite by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two men in this drawing. They are dressed in simple clothes. The details of their faces are not very clear, which makes you wonder about them. The way they are drawn makes them look like ordinary people. This was interesting because many artists at the time focused on wealthy or famous people. This drawing is similar to work done using the technique: sfumato.
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.
