1855

Honoré Daumier

Associated Names

Honoré Daumier

Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

This is a drawing of puppet-like figures on a stage. The drawing features exaggerated caricatures of the figures, characterized by bulbous noses and oversized costumes. The central figure is holding a club and poised over another figure at the edge of the stage. The stage is framed with a heavy curtain. The style uses bold, sketchy lines and emphasizes the expressions and posture of the figures, conveying a sense of satirical commentary.
