This lithograph, "The Imaginary Invalid," by Honoré Daumier, is a satirical depiction of a man feigning illness. It portrays a man, lying in a chair, with a doctor in the background. Daumier was renowned for his caricatures, often capturing social commentary through exaggerated features and expressions. This artwork, likely inspired by Molière's play "The Imaginary Invalid," highlights the absurdity of pretense and social hypocrisy.
