Oogarts Robert Macaire probeert blinde man te houden als klant 1837

This lithograph by Honoré Daumier, titled "Oogarts Robert Macaire probeert blinde man te houden als klant" (Ophthalmologist Robert Macaire Tries to Keep a Blind Man as a Client), depicts a satirical scene from 1837. The print is characteristic of Daumier's work, which often critiques social injustices and the hypocrisy of the middle class. In the image, a blind man, possibly a patient, is seated on a chair, while a doctor, Robert Macaire, stands before him, attempting to convince him of his services. Daumier's exaggerated figures and sharp lines accentuate the humor and social commentary of the scene, which is set in a room within a building. The print is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection and is 286 mm in height and 243 mm in width.
