"At The Bar" is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, created in 1865. The work is part of a series titled *Croquis pris à l'exposition*, which satirizes the art world. This particular plate depicts two men at a café, likely discussing the sculptures of the French Salon, seen behind them. Daumier's signature style of caricature and social commentary is evident in the exaggerated features and expressions of the men, while the simplified form of the sculptures further highlights the artistic critique. This lithograph exemplifies Daumier's talent for capturing the social scene and offering his own perspective on contemporary art and society.
