Lot Details
Honore' Daumier The Third Class Carriage Lithograph Signed, Titled & No. 406/500 225 x 300mm The Third Class Carriage demonstrates Daumier's renowned sympathy for the poor. Although a bitter caricaturist of the bourgeoisie and politicians, Daumier drops the satire and draws a sensitive picture of the poor. A family sits together in the third class car, folded in on themselves, isolated and absorbed in thought.Daumier intended to capture the plight of the working-class not through drama, but through the quiet moments of their everyday lives. One sees the hardness of their lives through their clothes, the weariness of their posture and their facial features. Honoré-Victorin Daumier was a French print maker, caricaturist, painter, and sculptor,whose many works offer commentary on social and political life in France in the 19th century.
