Celui-la, on peut le mettre en liberté! (This one we can set free! He is no longer dangerous!) 1834

"Celui-la, on peut le mettre en liberté! (This one we can set free! He is no longer dangerous!)," a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, created in 1834, is a satirical commentary on the social and political climate of 19th century France. The artwork depicts a scene of a man released from prison, with two officials seemingly in agreement. Daumier's signature style of caricature and social commentary is evident in the exaggerated features and expressions of the figures. The lithograph is a powerful critique of the French legal system and its treatment of prisoners, highlighting the artist's concern for social justice and the plight of the underprivileged.
