Une Maitresse a l'Opéra

Honoré Daumier, 1845

This image shows two men from the waist up, positioned next to each other in what appears to be a conversation. They are depicted in a detailed sketch style. The man on the left has short, slicked-back hair and is shown in profile view, while the man on the right has a slightly receding hairline and wavy hair, and is smiling with a more forward-facing orientation. Both men are dressed in formal attire; they are wearing dark coats with light-colored waistcoats underneath, and white shirts with high collars. The man on the right holds a small rectangular object in his right hand. In the background, there are sketches of other people and an audience in a venue setting. The page exhibits signs of foxing, with brown spots scattered across the surface.
