About this work

This lithograph depicts a woman with a beard, standing on a cloud, and flexing her arm. She wears a dress and has a confident expression. To her right is a figure in a long robe, looking up at her with a mix of surprise and admiration. The background is a dark, cloudy sky. The scene is set against a backdrop of people looking up at the bearded woman, adding to the sense of drama and intrigue. The overall mood is one of boldness and defiance, as if the woman is proudly declaring her uniqueness. This artwork is reminiscent of the works of Daumier, Honoré.
