About this work

You see a man gesturing with one arm, looking at you. He's holding a stick with a label that seems funny. The man is in a simple background with some portraits. The stick's label is what makes this interesting. It says "RUMESSON D'HONNEUR, BONNE ETAT MA", which is likely a joke about honor. Check out the work of artist: Daumier, Honoré to learn more about his style.
