You see two people fighting in this lithograph. One is attacking with a large object, while the other defends with a cane. The scene looks tense and chaotic. The artist used bold contrast and shading to make the scene stand out. This style was typical of his satirical work. He also included text that comments on peace and war. To learn more about the artist who made this, look up Daumier, Honoré.
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.
