This 1849 lithograph shows a man and woman walking side by side. The man looks straight ahead with a serious face. The woman’s face is partly hidden by her arm. The background has clouds and some buildings. Daumier made this during a time when artists mocked society’s flaws. Lithography let him print bold lines fast, which helped spread his sharp humor. Look up Daumier, Honoré next.
