Au nom du ciel, Théodore ne regarde pas ... c. 19th century

"Au nom du ciel, Théodore ne regarde pas la mer comme ça, il va arriver un malheur!" is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier from around the 19th century that portrays a comical scene of a man and woman standing on a cliff. The man, Theodore, is looking at the sea with such intensity that he seems to be about to fall over the cliff. The woman, likely Theodore's wife, appears concerned, and the text below the illustration suggests that she's worried he'll fall because he's so focused on the water. Daumier was a renowned French artist known for his satirical caricatures of the social and political climate of his time. This work exemplifies his signature style, which uses caricature and exaggeration to expose the absurdities and follies of society.
