Tiens... notre jardin... produit des perdreaux!... 1857

"Tiens... notre jardin... produit des perdreaux!..." (1857) is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier that satirizes the absurd nature of hunting. It depicts a man and woman in a state of panic as they discover a dead bird in their garden. Daumier, known for his social commentary, uses this scene to mock the pretentiousness of the upper class, who often engaged in hunting for sport rather than necessity. The lithograph is a classic example of Daumier's signature style, using bold lines and expressive figures to highlight the comical and ironic aspects of human behavior.
