Ah! vous êtes fort en vers latins, jeune homme... 1847

"Ah! vous êtes fort en vers latins, jeune homme..." is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, a renowned French artist known for his satirical social commentary. Created in 1847, this print captures the essence of Daumier's signature style, characterized by bold lines, exaggerated figures, and humorous depictions of everyday life. The artwork features three figures: a pompous older gentleman, a stern middle-aged man, and a young boy. The scene suggests a humorous interaction, likely mocking social classes or intellectual pretensions of the time. This satirical piece reflects Daumier's keen eye for observing and critiquing the follies of Parisian society in the mid-19th century.
