Une Réparation d'honneur is a 1845 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows three men in fancy clothes, standing close together. All three wear top hats and suits, with the man on the right adjusting his gloves. Their faces look serious, and the lines are quick and sketchy, like a hurried drawing. The title at the bottom says *Une Réparation d’Honneur*—which means something like "a repair of honor." The text below looks like a fake apology someone might say in a silly argument. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how artists made prints like this.
