Bust of Hippolyte Abraham, known as Abraham-Dubois 1833

Honoré Daumier's "Bust of Hippolyte Abraham, known as Abraham-Dubois" from 1833 is a satirical portrayal of the French politician. Daumier, known for his caricatures, exaggerated Abraham-Dubois's features, emphasizing his prominent nose and heavyset physique. The bust, crafted in terracotta, captures the essence of Abraham-Dubois's personality, highlighting his perceived arrogance and pomposity. This work showcases Daumier's talent for social commentary, using art to critique political figures and expose their perceived flaws. The sculpture, currently housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, is a testament to Daumier's enduring legacy as a master of satirical art.
