Un Avocat qui est... rempli de la conviction... intime... 1845

"Un Avocat qui est... rempli de la conviction... intime...", an 1845 lithograph by Honoré Daumier, satirizes the legal profession through caricature. The exaggerated gestures and expressions of the lawyer, judges, and courtroom attendees underscore the artist's critical view of the French judicial system. Daumier was known for his social commentary through his art, particularly his "Les Gens de Justice" series, which depicted the absurdities and injustices of the legal system. This print exemplifies his use of satire to highlight social problems and raise questions about justice.
