"“Brrrr! I am furious that I came here to hunt in the St. Denis-Plain. It's just too cold!… - One of those days when you would love to catch a bear. His fur would be more than welcome right now!” is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier from his series *Croquis de Chasse* created in 1858. This humorous print depicts two men in conversation in the cold, one expressing his desire to hunt a bear for its warm fur. This satirical work exemplifies Daumier's social commentary and keen observation of human nature, often poking fun at the foibles of the working class and society's absurdities."
