Chauds les gros! chauds!... is a 1868 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a man with a long beard and hair, wearing a robe, holding a scythe in his right hand. He is standing in front of a large pot filled with various objects, including what appears to be a skull. The man's facial expression is one of determination, and his posture suggests that he is about to take action. In the background, there are several words written in French, which appear to be a quote or a phrase. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of intensity and urgency, as if the man is about to embark on a mission or task. This image is reminiscent of the work of artist Daumier, Honoré.
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.
