Un ami qu'on a invité ... c. 19th century

"Un ami qu'on a invité ...," a lithograph by Honoré Daumier from the 19th century, depicts a humorous scene of a man in a hat standing in a doorway, arms outstretched, while another figure reclines on a chaise lounge. The man in the doorway appears to be exasperated with the sleeping figure. Daumier was a prolific artist known for his social commentary and satirical lithographs. This work is a great example of his ability to capture the humor and absurdity of everyday life, and his signature style of caricatured figures.
