Man krijgt een bos bloemen van zijn huisbewaarder 1844

This lithograph, titled "Man Gets a Bouquet of Flowers from His Janitor," created in 1844 by Honoré Daumier, is a satirical depiction of a wealthy man receiving a gift from his humble caretaker. Daumier, known for his social commentary through caricature, uses exaggerated features and poses to highlight the class divide and the absurdity of the situation. The work's humor lies in the juxtaposition of the man's apparent wealth and his awkward response to the simple gesture, demonstrating Daumier's sharp observations of French society in the 19th century. This piece, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, is an example of Daumier's mastery of lithography and his ability to capture the essence of his time through humorous yet insightful art.
