Achille Vèron se retirant sous sa tente c. 19th century

This lithograph, titled "Achille Vèron se retirant sous sa tente", was created by Honoré Daumier in the 19th century. Daumier, renowned for his satirical cartoons, portrays Achille Véron as a caricatured warrior, retreating from the battlefield. The depiction satirizes Véron, a prominent figure in French literature and theater, with a shield emblazoned with the words "Pate de Regnaut," referencing his role in a play. The lithograph is a testament to Daumier's mastery of caricature, capturing social and political commentary through visual humor.
