About this work

This lithograph shows a man in a big floppy hat and a dog with a sack in its mouth. The man’s arms are wide. The dog pulls hard. Clothes look rumpled and silly. Daumier liked to poke fun at people’s habits. Here he mixes sharp lines and rough shading. It feels alive—like a quick sketch. If you like this, check out Daumier, Honoré.
