Ne laissez donc pas votre ami dans cet état la! c. 19th century

"Ne laissez donc pas votre ami dans cet état la!" is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, a French artist known for his social commentary through caricature. Created in the 19th century, the artwork depicts a scene of social disparity, with a wealthy man in a top hat standing over a seemingly intoxicated man lying on the ground. Daumier's signature style of bold lines and exaggerated features effectively communicates a message about the inequalities of the time, drawing attention to the plight of the less fortunate. The work's title, translating to "Don't leave your friend in this state!", adds a layer of social critique, highlighting the indifference of the wealthy towards those less privileged.
