Cinq coeurs, quinte et quatorze ... c. 19th century

"Cinq coeurs, quinte et quatorze ..." is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, a prominent French artist of the 19th century, known for his satirical and often politically charged works. This artwork depicts a scene of a heated card game, likely portraying the frustrations of a losing player. The use of text and the exaggerated expressions of the characters, emphasize the humor and satire of Daumier's style. Daumier's work often captured the social realities of his time and this piece, with its focus on everyday interactions and social commentary, is a characteristic example of his social realism.
