"Mr. D'argo" is a lithograph created by Honoré Daumier in 1833. It is part of a series of satirical portraits of prominent figures from the Célébrités de la Caricature, published in 1833. This particular print, plate 292, depicts Mr. D'argo, likely a contemporary figure, with exaggerated features and a humorous, yet critical, expression. Daumier's signature, "H. Daumier," is visible in the lower right-hand corner. The lithograph is part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is currently housed.
