"En Voila un de plaisir!" is a satirical lithograph by Honoré Daumier created in 1841. It depicts a man, possibly a bourgeois gentleman, attempting to fish on a frozen lake. His exaggerated pose and the humorous text below suggest Daumier's satirical view of the upper class, often depicted in his works as foolish and out of touch. This print exemplifies Daumier's mastery of caricature and his ability to capture the absurdity of social situations through his powerful line work and sharp observation. Daumier's work is known for its social commentary and artistic style, often focusing on the lives of ordinary people in 19th-century France.
