Ath. L. Charles Coquerel 1849

This 1849 lithograph by Honoré Daumier depicts Ath. L. Charles Coquerel, a French Protestant pastor and theologian. Known for his satirical social commentary, Daumier’s caricature captures Coquerel’s physical appearance with exaggerated features and a humorous, almost cartoonish style. This work is a prime example of Daumier's mastery of lithography and his ability to capture personality with a few strokes of the pen.
