Daumier was known for his commentary on everyday life, which might be reflected in this piece. You can learn more about the style and themes of this work by looking into the movement of Realism.
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.
