J'ai trois sous c. 19th century

This lithograph, "J'ai trois sous", was created by the famous French artist Honoré Daumier in the 19th century. Daumier was known for his satirical and realistic depictions of Parisian life. The artwork portrays a man standing outside a cafe, with the caption "I have three sous" implying his poverty. His elongated figure and the exaggerated perspective emphasize his social standing and create a sense of vulnerability. This piece is a powerful commentary on social inequality and the struggles of the working class in 19th-century Paris, a common theme in Daumier's work.
