"Vous voyez ... je viens de faire moi-même mon marché ..." (You see ... I've just done ... my shopping ...) is a satirical lithograph by French artist Honoré Daumier. Created in the 19th century, the print depicts a man on a horse, claiming to have done his shopping, while two men on foot express disbelief through exaggerated facial expressions and gestures. Daumier, known for his social commentary, often used caricature to highlight the absurdity of daily life and expose the hypocrisy of the powerful. This work, characteristic of his style, critiques the ostentatious displays of wealth and the often-deceptive nature of social interactions.
