About this work

This lithograph shows three men in a bare stone room. One man in a military coat stands tall. Another man in a suit looks down at a third man who slumps on the floor. Daumier used fine lines to show anger and power. The title means "The court gives favors, not justice." The scene feels tense but quiet. Look up lithography next.
