"Vous voila maintenant passé citoyen" (You are now a citizen), a lithograph by Honoré Daumier from the 19th century, depicts a satirical scene of a man and woman in a domestic setting. The man, who appears to be a newly-minted citizen, holds a dog on his lap, while the woman, presumably his wife, stares off into the distance. Daumier's use of caricature, visible in the exaggerated features of the figures, is characteristic of his artistic style. The print is likely a commentary on the social and political changes of the time, highlighting the perceived contradictions of modern life in 19th century France.
