Les Suites d'une insurrection 1849

"Les Suites d'une insurrection" (The Consequences of an Insurrection), created in 1849 by the famed French artist Honoré Daumier, is a poignant lithograph that captures the political and social unrest of 19th-century France. Daumier's signature satirical style is evident in the caricature of a kneeling figure, presumably a participant in the recent uprising, being reprimanded by an authority figure. This artwork offers a glimpse into the harsh realities and consequences of social upheaval, a theme Daumier frequently explored in his work.
