You see two scenes in this lithograph: people at a buffet and someone getting out of a carriage. The people are exaggerated, like caricatures, which makes the scene funny. This style of humor was common in Daumier's time, and he used it to comment on everyday life. Check out the work of artist: Daumier, Honoré, to see more of his humorous takes on everyday scenes.
