"A Neighbour Complaining about the Watering of his Lawn," is a lithograph from Honoré Daumier’s satirical series *Les Bons Bourgeois* (The Good Bourgeoisie), created in 1846. The print depicts a comical scene of a man on a balcony, exasperatedly shielding himself from the water cascading from above. This work exemplifies Daumier's keen observation of social absurdities, highlighting the petty grievances and anxieties of the middle class. The image captures a moment of frustration and exemplifies Daumier's mastery of caricature and lithographic technique, making it a compelling social commentary.
