Troisième et dernière séance du congrès ... c. 19th century

*Troisième et dernière séance du Congrès de la Paix* (Third and Last Session of the Peace Congress), a lithograph created c. 19th century by Honoré Daumier, offers a satirical look at the political machinations of the time. Daumier, a renowned artist for his social commentary, captures the chaotic and often absurd nature of political gatherings through the exaggerated figures and expressions of the attendees. The piece serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities and often farcical nature of political negotiations, particularly during periods of international unrest.
