Huiseigenaar voelt niets voor excuses en smeekbede van vrouw die achterloopt met de betaling van de huur 1836 - 1838

"Huiseigenaar voelt niets voor excuses en smeekbede van vrouw die achterloopt met de betaling van de huur" is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier from 1836-1838. The artwork depicts a landlord refusing to listen to the pleas of a woman who is behind on her rent payments. The woman is accompanied by her two children, highlighting the desperation of their situation. Daumier's lithographs often satirized social injustices and inequalities in 19th-century France. This particular piece reflects the harsh realities faced by the working class during a period of economic hardship. The use of exaggerated features and expressive gestures adds to the satirical nature of the artwork. The artwork is part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
