Une rencontre de jouyeauz augures c. 19th century

"Une rencontre de jouyeauz augures" (c. 19th century) is a lithograph by French artist Honoré Daumier. The work depicts two men in classical garb, their exaggerated features and postures conveying a satirical tone. Daumier's style of caricature was particularly well-suited for social commentary, and this work likely critiques the hypocrisy or absurdity of those in power. Daumier's use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and texture, while the overall composition highlights the figures' interaction and the artist's sharp wit. This print, characteristic of Daumier's prolific output, exemplifies his sharp social commentary and the enduring power of visual satire.
