"Un Train de Plaisir" (1852) by Honoré Daumier is a lithograph depicting a crowded train car. The passengers, drawn with exaggerated features, appear exhausted and weary. The scene is likely a satirical commentary on the societal pressures and exhaustion of urban life in 19th-century France. Daumier, a prominent social realist artist, often used caricature to expose social injustices and human foibles. This artwork captures the anxieties and realities of the era, using humor to highlight the absurdity of modern life.
