Vous m'avez injurié dans votre plaidoirie... is a 1845 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
Four men in fancy clothes stand close together. Their faces look worried or angry. One guy in a long coat holds a cane. Another wears a judge’s robe and holds papers. The drawing is black and white, with rough lines. The title at the top means something like “You insulted me in your speech.” This print pokes fun at lawyers or judges. Check out how this was made using 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.
