Le Jour ou il faut se montrer galant 1845

"Le Jour ou il faut se montrer galant" is a lithograph by the French artist Honoré Daumier, created in 1845. This satirical print depicts a scene between a flower seller and a man, possibly a dandy, illustrating the social interactions of mid-19th century France. Daumier is known for his sharp social commentary, often targeting the upper classes, which can be seen in the exaggerated features of the man. This work is a prime example of Daumier's style, characterized by bold lines and strong contrasts, creating a sense of humor and social critique.
