Croquis pris aux Champs Elysées c. 19th century

"Croquis pris aux Champs Elysées," a satirical lithograph by Honoré Daumier from the 19th century, depicts two figures perched precariously in trees. Daumier was a master of caricature and social commentary, often using his art to expose the hypocrisy and absurdity of his contemporaries. The figures' awkward postures and exaggerated features suggest a critique of the social and political climate of the time. Daumier's sharp wit and keen observations are evident in this satirical masterpiece.
