Si tu veux, je t'achète deux cents billes ... c. 19th century

"Si tu veux, je t'achète deux cents billes ...," is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, a prominent French caricaturist and painter, dating from the 19th century. This satirical work depicts a group of individuals involved in a humorous transaction, likely highlighting the social and economic realities of the time. The drawing’s style, with its exaggerated features and bold lines, is characteristic of Daumier's work and is often seen in his satirical social commentary. The text within the image adds another layer to the work, hinting at the absurdity of the situation and inviting viewers to decipher its meaning. It is a poignant example of Daumier's ability to use humor to expose social injustices and provoke thought.
