Minister d'Argout beschermt zijn gezin tegen een stortbui met zijn neus 1833

This lithograph by Honoré Daumier, titled "Minister d’Argout Protects His Family from a Downpour with His Nose," is a satirical commentary on the French politician Antoine d'Argout. Created in 1833, the work depicts d'Argout as a towering figure with an exaggerated nose, shielding his family from a rainstorm. Daumier's use of caricature highlights the politician's perceived arrogance and incompetence, critiquing his leadership during a period of political unrest. This piece exemplifies Daumier's mastery of lithographic technique and his talent for social commentary, making it a significant work in the history of French political satire.
