Deux ex capacité de l'ancien régime c. 19th century

"Deux ex capacité de l'ancien régime" (Two Capacities of the Old Regime), is a lithograph by French artist Honoré Daumier from the 19th century. The satirical cartoon features two men sitting on a park bench, one older and the other younger, engaged in a conversation. The piece is a social commentary, characteristic of Daumier's work, and highlights the absurdity of privilege and social inequalities in the old regime. Daumier's keen observation of human nature and his masterful use of caricature are evident in this piece, making it a powerful example of his social realism.
