About this work

This sketch shows two people walking on a road outside Paris. The person on the left is tall, wearing a fancy dress with a hat shaped like a basket. They’re holding something in their right hand. The person on the right is shorter, dressed in a long coat, and looks like they’re struggling to keep up. The word "PARIS" is written above their heads, and the background shows a city skyline with buildings and trees. The artist used quick, loose lines to draw them, making the scene feel fast and a little messy. Next, look up Daumier, Honoré to see more of his political cartoons.
