Charles-Guillaume Etienne c. 1832 - 1950

Honoré Daumier’s bronze sculpture, "Charles-Guillaume Etienne," depicts the French politician with a distinctly exaggerated, almost caricatured style, characteristic of the artist’s work. Daumier, a prominent social commentator, utilized his artistic talent to satirize figures of power and authority, particularly in the political sphere. The sculpture, likely created between 1832 and 1950, showcases Daumier's signature use of exaggerated features and expressive forms to capture the essence of his subject. The small scale of the bronze, measuring just over 6 inches in height, further emphasizes the intimate and personal nature of the work.
