Un Locataire qui a eu un oubli le 1er janvier 1847

"Un Locataire qui a eu un oubli le 1er janvier" (A Tenant Who Had a Lapse on January 1st) is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier from 1847. The work depicts a humorous scene of a Parisian maid sweeping up a pile of debris. Daumier was a prolific French artist known for his satirical cartoons and social commentary. The lithograph's title suggests the tenant forgot to remove his belongings before the New Year, highlighting the absurdity of everyday life in 19th-century France. The scene is characterized by its caricatured figures and Daumier's signature use of exaggerated lines and hatching. The maid's stern expression and the tenant's surprised reaction create a sense of comical chaos.
