Two Lawyers Conversing 1808 - 1879

"Two Lawyers Conversing" is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, a prolific French artist known for his satirical portrayals of 19th-century society. The artwork captures a moment of hushed discussion between two legal professionals, their expressions and body language suggesting a private exchange of ideas or perhaps a contentious debate. Daumier's work often used caricature to expose the absurdity and hypocrisy of institutions and individuals, and "Two Lawyers Conversing" exemplifies this through the exaggerated features and postures of its subjects.
