Honoré Daumier’s 1866 lithograph shows three grumpy fishermen on a dock. One holds a huge fish like a trophy. Their faces twist in surprise, pride, or maybe disgust. This is a funny take on fishing. Daumier often mocked everyday life in prints. The fish is way too big—just look at their tiny boat. Next, check out more Daumier, Honoré at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
