About this work

You see two people in fancy clothes struggling in a big dust storm on a city street. They're talking to each other, but it's hard to walk. The artist made their faces and bodies look funny to make a point. The drawing style is caricature, which means it's exaggerated. This style helps show how the people feel about the dust storm. Check out the work of artist: Daumier, Honoré.
