Le Temps éprouvant lui aussi le besoin de s'équiper a la mode is a 1867 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a man with a long white beard and hair, wearing a black hat and a dark robe. He is standing on a cloud, holding a scythe in his right hand and a long stick in his left. The man's face is contorted in a mixture of pain and effort. A pair of large wings protrude from his back, and he appears to be struggling to move forward. In the foreground, a few clouds are visible, and the background is a light beige color. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of struggle and determination.
