You see a man walking down a cobblestone street with a bouquet and potted plants. He's clearly getting ready for a celebration. The way he's dressed and the things he's carrying give us a glimpse into what life was like in 19th-century Paris.

Honoré-Victorin Daumier was a French painter, sculptor, and printmaker, whose many works offer commentary on the social and political life in France, from the Revolution of 1830 to the fall of the Second French Empire in 1870.
