En v'la un qu'est un drole de corps ... c. 19th century

This lithograph by Honoré Daumier, titled "En v'la un qu'est un drole de corps...", is a satirical commentary on the art world of 19th-century France. The image shows a landscape painter sketching in the field while two figures, a woman and a man, stand in the foreground, seemingly shocked at the artist's work. Daumier's caricatures often mocked the pretensions of the upper class and this work specifically pokes fun at the seemingly nonsensical and often over-the-top nature of landscape art. This drawing is a testament to Daumier's keen observational skills and his sharp wit, further solidifying his legacy as a master of social commentary.
