Allant gouter ce qu'on est convenu d'appeler... 1855

This lithograph titled "Allant goûter ce qu'on est convenu d'appeler..., " was created in 1855 by Honoré Daumier, a renowned French artist known for his satirical social commentary. Depicting a group of hunters, Daumier uses caricature to highlight the absurdity of hunting in winter. The exaggerated features and poses of the figures, combined with the starkly drawn landscape, emphasize the harshness of the season and the comical nature of their pursuit. This work is a fine example of Daumier's unique style, which combined keen observation with sharp wit, making it a powerful commentary on the social and political realities of his time.
