Le Malade imaginaire is a 1841 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows a man in a top hat and dark jacket, with his arms crossed. He has a worried expression on his face. The background is a light color, with some darker shading around the man. The man's pose and facial expression suggest that he is feeling anxious or concerned about something. His crossed arms and furrowed brow give the impression that he is deep in thought.

Honoré-Victorin Daumier was a French painter, sculptor, and printmaker, whose many works offer commentary on the social and political life in France, from the Revolution of 1830 to the fall of the Second French Empire in 1870.
