The Hypochondriac 

"The Hypochondriac" is a satirical lithograph by Honoré Daumier, a prominent French artist known for his social commentary. The work depicts a man lying in bed, seemingly ill, attended by a doctor with a worried expression. A shadowy figure lurking in the background suggests the patient's anxieties are more imagined than real, highlighting the absurdity of hypochondria. Daumier's sharp social observation and dark humor made him a popular artist of his time, exposing the follies of society through caricature and satire.
