Les Baigneurs, plate 9: Allons lancez vous Père Goutot

1839

20.1 x 26.6 cm

Full Title: 'Allons lancez vous Père Goutot c'est une vrai lessive' ('Come on throw yourself Father Goutot, it's a real wash'). Good copy, some foxing and two marginal restoration. #Delteil, 769. Honoré Daumier, painter, lithographer and sculptor, born at Marseille in 1808, died at Valmondois in 1879, was the greatest caricaturist of his age. In 1832, his representation of Louis Philippe at Gargantua earned him six months in prison. He collaborated with Le Charivari (an illustrated magazine in Paris), where his direct and severe irony mercilessly ridiculed the bourgeosie in a realistic, powerful, and dramatically intense manner.
