L'incomparable somnabule c. 19th century

"L'incomparable somnabule" (c. 19th century) is a satirical lithograph by Honoré Daumier, known for his social commentary and caricatures. The artwork depicts a crowd gathered around a seated man, likely a prominent figure, who appears bewildered and confused, with an exaggeratedly large head and spectacles. Daumier's signature style of exaggerated features and bold lines adds a humorous, yet critical, tone to the scene. This work is a prime example of Daumier's ability to use humor and satire to expose the follies of society.
