This lithograph shows a man on a balcony. His clothes look messy. He holds a broken parasol. A woman hides behind a wall, peering out. Daumier often mocked society in his art. This print feels urgent, like a quick sketch. The lines are rough but full of energy. Look up Daumier, Honoré to see more of his sharp, funny work.
