Voila pourtant ce qu'on est convenu d'appeler ... c. 19th century

This 19th-century lithograph by Honoré Daumier, titled "Voila pourtant ce qu'on est convenu d'appeler ...," depicts two hunters and a dog on a hunting excursion. The artist's signature style is evident in the exaggerated figures and the caricatured expressions, creating a humorous commentary on the sport of hunting. The sketch-like quality of the drawing and the use of simple lines add to the immediacy and informality of the scene. Daumier was known for his satirical works that often exposed the hypocrisy and injustices of French society. This lithograph, part of his "Les Plaisirs de la Chasse" series, may have been a critique of the upper classes' obsession with hunting.
