Comment ... c'est-t'y dieu possible! ... c. 19th century

*Comment... c'est-t'y dieu possible!* is a satirical lithograph by Honoré Daumier, created sometime during the 19th century. Depicting three women at a butcher shop, the work exemplifies Daumier's signature style of social commentary, using caricature to highlight the disparity between the wealthy and the poor. The caption, translated as "How is it possible... soon we will have beef for next to nothing and veal on top!", highlights the economic struggles faced by common people during this period. Daumier's bold lines and exaggerated features draw attention to the women's impoverished state, emphasizing the stark reality of their lives. The lithograph, with its powerful message and distinct style, is a prime example of Daumier's artistry and ability to capture the essence of everyday life in 19th-century France.
