About this work

This sketch shows two men talking, drawn in loose, sketchy lines. One wears a fancy suit with a hat in his lap, looking down. The other has a big nose, glasses, and a tall hat with a feather. Their clothes look old-fashioned, and the lines are dark in some spots, light in others. The text below is in French and seems to be a joke about one man’s election. The artist made the faces look exaggerated, almost funny. If you like this style, check out Romanticism next.
