This lithograph, created by Honoré Daumier in 1835, is a satirical commentary on the French surgeon and expatriate Louis-Philippe of Orléans. It's part of Daumier's "Namaquan Ave Maria" series, known for its politically charged caricatures. The image shows Orléans in a state of disarray, surrounded by grotesquely exaggerated figures, suggesting a criticism of his actions or political stances. Daumier's bold lines and stark contrasts create a powerful visual impact, highlighting the artist's talent for social commentary. The artwork, titled "A Fair Reward Presented in 1800 by the Un-Prudish Savages of North America to Louis-Philippe of Orléans, surgeon and expatriate, but still a Frenchman. (I salute you, gracious Black Lady, the Lord is with you.) A Namaquan Ave Maria, plate 466", is now in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
