Le Futur monument de Napoléon aux Invalides

Honoré Daumier, 1842

Four individuals are shown from head to toe, bent over and observing something on the ground. On the left, a man wearing a black top hat and brown coat is bending forward. Next to him, a woman is wearing a yellow and red scarf on her head and a black dress, also bending forward. In the center, a small child with short light brown hair is dressed in light-colored clothes and is bent over, looking at the ground. To their right, an older man in a navy blue coat with a white sash looks down, carrying a sword and holding a circular hat. The background shows a light-colored wall with column shadows, suggesting an architectural setting.
