Tu connais bien l'gros député d'en face ... c. 19th century

"Tu connais bien l'gros député d'en face ..." is a lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honoré Daumier in the 19th century. The satirical artwork depicts a group of men seated on a wall, engaging in a conversation about a prominent politician, likely a member of the French Parliament. Daumier's signature style of caricature is evident in the exaggerated features and expressive poses of the figures. The artwork's title, which translates to "You know the fat deputy across the street...," hints at the satirical nature of the work, likely targeting the politician's perceived corruption and influence. Daumier's lithographs were often used to criticize social injustices and political corruption, reflecting the social and political realities of 19th-century France.
