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.
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.
