Modification du costume parisien ... c. 19th century

"Modification du costume parisien ..." is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, a prominent French artist known for his satirical caricatures. This artwork depicts a scene of Parisian fashion, likely a theatrical performance, with a grotesque figure wearing an oversized costume and standing beside two figures. The caricature suggests a social commentary on the exaggerated fashions of the time. Daumier's sharp, expressive lines and use of charcoal create a dramatic effect and emphasize the humorous elements of the scene.
