Allons lancez vous père goutot... c. 19th century

This satirical lithograph, "Allons lancez vous père goutot...", by Honoré Daumier from the 19th century, depicts a scene of a public bathhouse, likely in France. Daumier, known for his social commentary through caricature, portrays a humorous and exaggerated scene of two men bathing. The drawing captures the absurdity of their situation, with one man precariously perched on a ladder above the water while another is partially submerged, creating a sense of awkwardness and amusement. This lithograph is typical of Daumier's style, using strong lines and a dark, charcoal-like palette to convey the social realities and injustices of his time.
