Impressions From the Vintage. “- What! You are treading bare-foot? - So what… you wouldn't want us to do it in our dancing shoes!,” plate 2 from Croquis D'automne 1856

"Impressions From the Vintage. “- What! You are treading bare-foot? - So what… you wouldn't want us to do it in our dancing shoes!”, plate 2 from Croquis D’automne, is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier created in 1856. This satirical print depicts a group of people during the grape harvest, with one man’s bare feet stained purple from the grapes. Daumier's caricature highlights the social commentary on the lower class, and the humorous scene portrays the absurdity of social expectations. The image captures the energy of everyday life in 19th-century France through Daumier’s signature style of bold lines and expressive figures.
