Un jour de verglas c. 19th century

"Un jour de verglas" (A Day of Black Ice) is a lithograph by the French artist Honoré Daumier from the 19th century. Daumier's style is known for its satirical and often exaggerated depictions of Parisian life. This particular piece is a humorous portrayal of a Parisian man attempting to walk on a slippery sidewalk while a woman tries to warn him. Daumier's use of caricature and bold lines emphasizes the comical scene. This print, like many of Daumier's works, reflects his keen observation of everyday life and offers a glimpse into the humor and challenges of the Parisian winter.
