Le Compte est-il bien exact?... 1847

"Le Compte est-il bien exact?..." (Is the account correct?...) is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, created in 1847. It depicts a scene of a man questioning another, likely a creditor, about his account. The man in the chair appears nervous and distressed, while the man standing appears more confident. This artwork is characteristic of Daumier's social commentary on the injustices of the time, particularly regarding financial matters. His use of lithography, a printing technique popular in the 19th century, allowed for mass production and the widespread circulation of his satirical social commentary.
