Hippolyte-Abraham Dubois c. 1832 - 1950

This bronze bust of Hippolyte-Abraham Dubois, a French politician, was created by Honoré Daumier, a renowned French artist known for his satirical caricatures and social commentary. The work, executed with Daumier’s characteristic bold and expressive style, captures Dubois’s physical features with exaggerated detail, highlighting the subject’s prominent nose and fleshy cheeks. The rough, unfinished surface of the bust reinforces the artist’s critical perspective, reflecting a satirical approach towards the subject and his political career.
