"That will do the job!", a lithograph from Honoré Daumier’s *Actualités* series, is a satirical commentary on the changes in French fashion between 1852 and 1870. Daumier humorously depicts an older man inspecting two women dressed in different styles, juxtaposing the fashions of two periods and implying that the more modern style (1870) is not as flattering. The drawing’s simplicity and Daumier's signature use of caricature contribute to the visual impact of this satirical commentary.
