Honoré Daumier

Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

This drawing features animated caricature figures in a comical scene. Three figures on the left confront a fourth figure on the right. The figure on the right wears a pointed hat and is holding quill feathers. The left figures have exaggerated facial features and expressions. The setting includes draped curtains in the background. One figure holds a pitchfork and a publication labeled 'Univers.' The drawing is reminiscent of a political cartoon.
