Man beschermt zijn oren tegen lawaai 1845

"Man Protects His Ears from Noise" is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, created in 1845. The work depicts a group of people, including a man in a top hat, who are all covering their ears, seemingly in an attempt to block out the loud noise of a nearby street performer. Daumier's social commentary is clear in this print, capturing the bustling and often cacophonous nature of city life. The artist was known for his satirical and often humorous depictions of everyday people and events, and this work is a classic example of his style.
