Robbed! Empty-Pocket Street..., plate 13 from Émotions Parisiens 1839

"Robbed! Empty-Pocket Street..." is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier from his series *Émotions Parisiennes* (1839). The work depicts a man, likely a Parisian, in a state of despair after being robbed. His exaggerated body language and the text accompanying the image (translated as "One more victim") emphasize the artist's social commentary on the struggles faced by ordinary people in the bustling city. Daumier's style, characterized by bold lines and expressive figures, effectively captured the drama and satire of everyday life in 19th-century Paris. This print is a significant example of Daumier's signature use of caricature and realism in his art, offering a glimpse into the complexities of urban life in 19th-century France. The piece is currently on display at The Art Institute of Chicago.
