Honoré Daumier

Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

This is an illustration with three figures caught in a storm. The figures are huddled together, one using a cloth to shield themselves from the rain. The drawing features expressive, caricature-like figures in a rainy setting with faint outlines of structures or fireworks. The text above and below hints at social or cultural commentary typical of prints from the 19th century.
