Le Portier en tournées de visites... 1841

"Le Portier en tournées de visites..." is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, created in 1841. The work depicts a man wearing a tall hat, a coat and a patterned waistcoat, his face contorted with exaggerated features. Daumier's signature, "H.D.", appears in the lower right corner. This work is characteristic of Daumier's satirical style, using caricature to highlight the social and political issues of his time. It's likely a critique of the hypocrisy and pretension of the upper class.
