Tiens, voilà un écriteau que ma femme a passé... 1848

"Tiens, voilà un écriteau que ma femme a passé..." is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, created in 1848. This satirical piece depicts a Parisian couple walking past a sign advertising "Apartments to Rent." Daumier, known for his social commentary, uses caricature and stark contrasts to highlight the plight of the urban poor and the disparity between the wealthy and working classes. This artwork is a quintessential example of Daumier's artistic style, reflecting his talent for capturing the complexities of 19th-century Parisian life through his sharp wit and powerful visual storytelling.
