About this work

This lithograph shows two sides facing off. A huge man in fancy clothes towers on the left. On the right, smaller figures in cloaks wave their arms. Daumier uses funny-looking faces to make a point. The big man looks silly but powerful. The little ones look upset and serious. He made this with a printing method called lithography. Look up lithography.
