Dokter Robert Macaire toont zijn studenten het resultaat van de operatie 1837

This lithograph by Honoré Daumier, titled "Dokter Robert Macaire toont zijn studenten het resultaat van de operatie," is a satirical commentary on the medical practices of the time. The artist's signature style of caricature is evident in the exaggerated features of the doctor, who stands triumphantly in front of a patient. Daumier's work often criticized social injustices and the hypocrisy of authority figures, making him a significant voice of the realist movement. This artwork, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Daumier's biting wit and keen social observation.
