Item Description

One of 500 numbered, pencil-signed lithographs from drawings by Honore Daumier, part of the series on Justice people. 

Honore Daumier was a French painter, printmaker, and caricaturist who created some of the most iconic lithographs of the 19th century. His lithographs were known for their sharp wit, biting satire, and keen observations of Parisian life. Daumier's lithographs often depicted scenes from everyday life, including politics, art, and commerce, and he was particularly adept at capturing the nuances of human emotion and behavior. His lithographs are highly sought after by collectors and art enthusiasts alike, and their value only continues to grow as time goes on. Whether you are a seasoned collector or a first-time buyer, owning a Daumier lithograph is a true investment in both art and history.

These incisive caricatures date back to the mid 19th century. The old thick paper shows appropriate wear of time. These timeless pieces, once framed, will add an accent of humor and sophistication to a law office or study.
