The artwork depicts two men in a studio, one in despair, the other seemingly laughing at him, a humorous commentary on the struggles of artists. Daumier, a renowned social commentator, often used lithography to satirize social issues and expose the absurdity of the human condition. His work is characterized by its expressive lines, bold contrasts, and exaggerated figures, as seen in this lithograph.
