About this work

You see three people in a simple room, in shades of gray. The older woman is looking at something with her glasses on. She seems interested in what's happening in front of her. The scene feels like a quiet moment in a busy place, which makes it interesting to look at, and to learn more about the artist who made it, Daumier, Honoré.
