This painting shows a man standing at a counter, talking to a clerk. He's holding a paper and looks unhappy. You can see a lot of detail in the man's face and clothes. The man's expression is what makes this work interesting - it looks like he's complaining about something. To learn more about the method used to create this image, look into the technique: lithography.
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.
