"Lilliputiens essayant de profiter du sommeil d'un nouveau Gulliver", a lithograph by Honoré Daumier from 1850, depicts a satirical take on the political landscape. Inspired by "Gulliver's Travels", Daumier portrays a giant figure representing the French government, asleep and vulnerable, being exploited by small, scheming Lilliputians. This satirical work, a hallmark of Daumier's style, captures the artist's keen observation of social and political dynamics, using humor and exaggeration to criticize the powerful and raise questions about social justice.
