Le Retour de la foire de Saint-Cloud 1845

"Le Retour de la foire de Saint-Cloud" is a lithograph created in 1845 by Honoré Daumier. It depicts a satirical scene of a group of people returning from the Saint-Cloud fair. The central figure, a man with a top hat, looks exasperated while surrounded by other people, including a woman and two children. The work is a commentary on the social satire of the time and is a powerful example of Daumier's skill as a social observer. Daumier was known for his caricatures, and he used this artwork to express his criticisms about the social issues of 19th-century France.
