About this work

You see a figure trapped under a pile of sacks marked with zeros. The sacks are labeled with '0000000', which might symbolize the weight of debt or responsibility. This detail makes the scene more interesting, as it adds a layer of meaning to the figure's struggle. Check out the work of artist: Daumier, Honoré, to see more of his lithographs.
