"Le Jour de sortie" is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, a renowned French artist known for his social commentary and satirical works. The artwork depicts a poignant scene of a young girl being released from an "institution" (possibly a prison or orphanage) and being met by a man. The somber mood is captured through the use of stark contrasts in light and shadow, emphasizing the emotional weight of the moment. Daumier’s masterful use of line and shading creates a sense of realism, capturing the harsh realities of 19th-century life. This lithograph is considered a powerful example of Daumier's social realism, highlighting the plight of the marginalized and underprivileged in society.
