"Leaving School," painted in 1848 by French artist Honoré Daumier, depicts a group of children leaving school. The painting captures the bustling energy of children leaving a school building, with some holding books and others eager to play. The image exemplifies Daumier's social realism style, focusing on the everyday lives of ordinary people, particularly the working class.
