Une maitresse a l'opera c. 19th century

"Une Maitresse a l'Opera," created by Honoré Daumier around the 19th century, is a satirical lithograph depicting a conversation between two men at the opera. The work is a classic example of Daumier's social commentary, with the two men's conversation highlighting the absurdity and shallowness of the upper classes. The lithograph was part of a series titled "Les Beaux Jours de la Vie," further illustrating the artist's focus on the foibles of society. Daumier's bold lines and exaggerated features contribute to the humor of the piece, capturing the essence of the men's personalities and the scene's atmosphere.
