Object Description
This witty lithograph is by the 19th Century French satirist Honoré Daumier. The print portrays a pair of lawyers, both dressed for court, one lawyer furtively speaking to the other. This composition comes from Daumier’s “Croquis Parisiens” series, which deals with everyday Parisians and their daily trials and tribulations—in this case, the suggestion that lawyers, even when representing competing sides, are all too acquainted with one another.
The print is held in a glazed frame and is signed ‘h.D’ for Daumier.
