Un plaideur auquel manquent ... is a 1865 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two people in a serious conversation, one in legal clothes and the other holding a paper and hat. This painting is interesting because it shows the humor in a serious situation. The person in legal clothes looks very formal, while the other person seems more relaxed. This contrast makes the scene a bit comical. Check out the work of artist: Daumier, Honoré, to see more examples of his style and humor.
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.
