Les paysagistes. Le premier copie la nature c. 19th century

This lithograph, "Les paysagistes. Le premier copie la nature," is a satirical work by Honoré Daumier, a renowned French artist and social commentator of the 19th century. The work depicts two landscape artists, one copying nature and the other copying the first artist, highlighting Daumier's critique of artistic trends and the imitation of styles prevalent during the time. The caricature-like style of the drawing, with its exaggerated features, is typical of Daumier's artistic voice, which often aimed to expose social absurdities. This artwork is a testament to Daumier's talent for using visual satire to comment on contemporary society.
