L'amateur d'huitres

Honoré Daumier, 1836

The image shows a man seated at a table, leaning forward to slurp an oyster. He has exaggerated facial features in a caricature style, with a large nose, prominent chin, and wide eyes. He has brown, combed-back hair and is wearing a dark green coat over a white and blue checkered shirt. On the table in front of him are stacks of oyster shells, a clear glass with a reddish liquid, and a bottle with a lime wedge. The background is plain and off-white.
