Comment, madame ... J'ai l'imprudence ... c. 19th century

"Comment, madame ... J'ai l'imprudence ..." is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, a prominent French artist known for his satirical cartoons, depicting the social injustices of his time. The artwork is a caricature of a landlord evicting a pregnant woman. Daumier's masterful use of exaggerated features and facial expressions effectively conveys the landlord's callous disregard for the woman's plight, highlighting the harsh realities of poverty and social disparity in 19th-century France. This lithograph exemplifies Daumier's sharp social commentary and serves as a powerful visual critique of societal inequalities.
