Ne tirez pas!!! is a 1865 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, depicting Hunting, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows a man in a long coat, arms raised, facing a line of soldiers with rifles aimed at him. The word "STOP" is written in large letters above his head. His face shows fear, but his hands look calm. Daumier made this during political unrest in France. Lithography lets artists print bold images fast. This one protests unfair violence.
