"Mr. Barthe" is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, one of the most famous French caricaturists of the 19th century. Created in 1833 as part of his "Célébrités de la Caricature" series, the print satirizes the appearance of the politician Jules Barthe through exaggeration and humor. Daumier's sharp wit and social commentary are evident in this work, which captures the essence of its subject with a simple yet powerful style. "Mr. Barthe" is currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago.
