Echtpaar in de regen probeert rijtuig te halen 1846

"Echtpaar in de regen probeert rijtuig te halen" (Couple in the rain tries to catch a carriage) is a lithograph by French artist Honoré Daumier, created in 1846. The drawing depicts a couple running through the rain to catch a horse-drawn carriage. The work is a satirical commentary on the social anxieties of 19th-century Paris, highlighting the frantic pace of life and the pursuit of fleeting pleasures. Daumier's characteristically expressive lines and exaggerated figures capture the absurdity of the scene, leaving the viewer to contemplate the relentless pursuit of the fleeting moments of luxury and the enduring human desire for connection.
