Echtpaar geconfronteerd met een ram 1845

"Echtpaar geconfronteerd met een ram" (Couple Confronted with a Ram), a lithograph by Honoré Daumier from 1845, depicts a humorous scene of a panicked couple facing a ram in a pastoral setting. The husband, using his umbrella as a weapon, attempts to fend off the ram while his wife pleads for help. This satirical work exemplifies Daumier's talent for capturing the absurdity of everyday life through a blend of realism and caricature, a hallmark of his lithographic prints. The use of bold lines and dramatic composition contribute to the visual impact and humor of this satirical work.
