L'homme in naturalibus 1841

"L'homme in naturalibus" is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, created in 1841. Daumier was known for his satirical and often critical depictions of Parisian life, and this work is no exception. The image presents two figures, both seemingly awkward and self-conscious, perhaps reflecting the social anxieties of the time. The artist's use of exaggerated features and a caricature style highlight the absurdity of human behavior, making this artwork a powerful and insightful commentary on the social landscape of 19th-century France.
