On dit que les Parisiens... 1864

"On dit que les Parisiens..." (They Say Parisians...) is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier from 1864. The work depicts a crowd of Parisians at a performance, all applauding enthusiastically. Daumier, a renowned French artist and social commentator, often used satire to critique social norms and political issues in his work, often with a focus on the people of Paris and their lives. This lithograph is a humorous depiction of a Parisian audience and their easily-pleased nature.
