Un invité à un dîner d'hippophages: Vous offrirai-je encore un peu? C'est excellent, n'est-ce pas? 24 - 1865

This lithograph, created in 1865 by Honoré Daumier, is a satirical commentary on the practice of hippophagy, or horse-eating. The image depicts three men seated at a table, with a horse's head prominently displayed on a plate. The men's expressions convey a mixture of disgust and resignation, highlighting Daumier's sharp critique of the social and cultural norms of his time. Daumier, a prolific artist and social commentator, used his art to expose hypocrisy and injustice, often targeting the political and economic elite. This satirical work exemplifies his signature style, which combined realism with caricature to convey his message with biting humor.
