Man leest opmerkelijk nieuws in de krant Le Constitutionnel 1846

"Man reading remarkable news in the newspaper Le Constitutionnel" is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier created in 1846. This satirical piece, part of his series "Les Bons Bourgeois," depicts a man reacting to a news article with a shocked expression while seated in a comfortable armchair. The drawing showcases Daumier's masterful use of caricature and social commentary, highlighting the absurdity and ignorance of the bourgeoisie in 19th-century France. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Daumier's talent for capturing the essence of human nature through his distinctive graphic style.
