This lithograph, "En Irlande," by Honoré Daumier depicts a satirical scene likely set in a courtroom. The artist's characteristic style of caricature is present in the exaggerated features and expressions of the figures. Three figures are present, likely referencing political figures of the time in Ireland. The central figure appears to be a judge or magistrate, while the other two are likely in some sort of legal trouble. The caption reveals the satirical nature of the piece, poking fun at the abundance of "faux Stephenses" (likely a reference to political or legal corruption), and the humorous exaggeration of the judge's wig and facial expressions amplifies the satire. Daumier's work is often known for its sharp social commentary, using humor to expose hypocrisy and injustice.
