watercolour illustration

“- It's nippy, Mr. Galimard, it's nippy!... - Allow me to say that at 8 degrees the rivers and the noses are frozen...” is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier from his series Tout Ce Qu'on Voudra. The artwork depicts two men in a conversation, the taller in a top hat and overcoat, while the other with a heavy coat, speaking about the cold weather. Daumier’s lithograph is a humorous commentary on the Parisian life during the 1840s. The work was created using the lithographic technique, which was a popular printing method for artists in the 19th century.
