This lithograph by Honoré Daumier, created in 1833, depicts a caricature of the French politician, François Guizot. Known for his satirical lithographs, Daumier captured the essence of Guizot’s character in this image, which is part of his series *Célébrités de la Caricature*. The artist utilizes exaggerated features and a dynamic pose to create a humorous and critical representation of Guizot, a prominent figure in French politics. This work is currently in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
