Comme on fait son lit on se couche c. 19th century

*Comme on fait son lit on se couche* (As you make your bed, so shall you lie in it) is a satirical lithograph by Honoré Daumier from the 19th century. It depicts a man on horseback, presumably a wealthy nobleman, passing a poorer pedestrian. The drawing uses exaggerated caricature to highlight the social divide. Daumier was a prominent artist known for his politically charged social commentary and use of lithography, a printing process that allowed for mass production and distribution of his works. This piece exemplifies Daumier's signature style, which often focused on the injustices and inequalities present in 19th century French society.
