Le chemisier c. 19th century

This lithograph, *Le chemisier*, is a satirical work by Honoré Daumier, a French artist known for his caricatures of political and social figures. Daumier's sharp wit is evident in the exaggerated features and poses of the two men depicted. The image is likely a commentary on the vanity and superficiality of the upper class. The text below the image further emphasizes the satire with its humorous description of a man bragging about his new shirt. The work is an excellent example of Daumier's ability to use humor to critique society.
