Karikatuur van een jager in de regen 1843

This lithograph, "Karikatuur van een jager in de regen," by Honoré Daumier, is a satirical depiction of a hunter caught in a downpour, standing forlornly beside a tree with his dog. The scene is rendered in Daumier's signature style, with bold lines and expressive details. The text below the image, "Si je pouvais chasser la pluie," translates to "If only I could hunt the rain," further emphasizing the humorous predicament of the hapless hunter.
