You see a man standing behind a podium in this lithograph. He has a big head and funny facial features. This is interesting because the artist used exaggeration to make a point about the person. The man is likely a politician or public figure, and the artist is poking fun at him. This kind of humor was common in art back then, used to comment on current events. Check out the work of artist: Daumier, Honoré to learn more about his style.
