S'étant placé sur une pente dangereuse c. 19th century

"S'étant placé sur une pente dangereuse" (Having placed himself on a dangerous slope) is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, a prominent French caricaturist and social commentator of the 19th century. This satirical work depicts a figure, likely a prominent political figure of the time, precariously perched on a steep cliff, suggesting their precarious position and impending downfall. Daumier's masterful use of caricature, with exaggerated features and poses, effectively conveyed his political and social commentary, making this a prime example of his renowned satirical style.
