Chut ... ! Ma fille est en communication ... c. 19th century

"Chut ... ! Ma fille est en communication ..." is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, a prominent French artist known for his satirical caricatures. Created in the 19th century, the work depicts a scene of a man, likely a father, whispering to another, possibly a medium, while his daughter is seated at a table, seemingly in a trance. This satirical piece, likely intended to mock the then-popular Spiritualism movement, exemplifies Daumier's sharp social commentary and talent for capturing human foibles through caricature.
