This lithograph, created in 1857 by Honoré Daumier, is one of seven plates from the series "La Cométe de 1857". It depicts a scene of Parisians looking upwards in awe, likely at the comet of 1857, which was a major astronomical event that captivated the public. The scene, rendered in a loose and expressive style characteristic of Daumier's work, conveys a sense of collective wonder and fascination, highlighting the importance of the event in Parisian society. The lithograph is held in The Art Institute of Chicago.
