No doubt, she is very ill!...

No doubt, she is very ill!...

From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art

About this work

This print shows a worried woman in a chair, her hand on her chest, a doctor listening with a stethoscope. It looks like a quick sketch, not a polished painting. Daumier worked fast for a newspaper. This was part of a series mocking daily life under Louis-Napoleon’s rule. The title says “No doubt, she is very ill!” but she looks fine. Find more Daumier prints in the Cleveland Museum of Art.
