Magere en gezette man in het zwembad 1840

"Magere en gezette man in het zwembad," a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, created in 1840, depicts a humorous scene of two individuals at a swimming pool. Known for his satirical caricatures, Daumier utilizes exaggeration and wit to portray a thin man and a stout man preparing to swim. The work is a classic example of Daumier's social commentary, capturing the absurdities of everyday life in 19th century France. This lithograph, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Daumier's mastery of lithography and his keen eye for the comical in the mundane.
