Inconvenient de quitter

Honoré Daumier, 1846

This is a painting of two individuals standing on a hill as a train passes by in the background. The scene depicts two figures clad in vintage attire, standing on a small hill or embankment. Their coats and hats are whipped by the wind, suggesting a burst of air, likely from the passing train visible in the background. The train is situated along a curved track, nestled between green vegetation and a cliffside. The sky above is painted with gradient hues transitioning from light to dark shades, with clouds sweeping across. The painting employs soft outlines and muted colors characteristic of satirical or caricature art common in the 19th century. This is in the style of Honoré Daumier.
