Trois saints dans le même bénitier c. 19th century

This satirical lithograph by Honoré Daumier, created in the 19th century, is entitled "Trois saints dans le même Bénitier." The piece depicts three men wearing conical hats, each marked "éteignoir" (fire extinguisher) and numbered 1, 2, and 3. The men are crammed together in a holy water font, a humorous and critical commentary on the absurdity of religious authority. Daumier's sharp wit and social commentary are evident in this lithograph, making it a testament to his enduring legacy as a prominent figure in the Realist movement.
