This lithograph shows a man in a coat and top hat waving his arms near ships on a dock. His face is wild. The umbrella in his hand looks ready to fly away. Daumier used sharp lines to make the man’s anger pop. The crowd around him looks nervous. It’s a joke about people who lose everything but one thing. Try looking up lithography next.
