You see a group of people sitting around a table, looking unhappy. They're dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The interesting thing about this work is that it seems to be making a point about something, but it's not clear what. It might be commenting on the people or the situation they're in. To learn more about the artist who created this, check out the work of artist: Honoré Daumier (French, 1808–1879).
