EDITORS COMMENTS
(2,000 francs...without a stable...that won't suit me at all!) is a poignant and humorous 19th-century lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier. This work of art, created by Daumier in the late 1800s, offers a glimpse into the daily struggles and frustrations of Parisian life. The image portrays a prospective tenant, dressed in the attire of the time, standing before a stern-faced landlady. With a look of disbelief and indignation, the man expresses his displeasure at the exorbitant rent of 2,000 francs for a room. He implores the landlady to lower the price, suggesting instead a much more affordable option, such as a "Cabinet de Garcons" (boys' room) costing only 50 or 60 francs. The black-and-white composition, reminiscent of the era's lithographic techniques, adds to the overall sense of authenticity and historical significance. The use of satire and parody in the artwork serves to highlight the social and economic disparities prevalent during the time, making it a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is just one of the many prestigious institutions that have recognized the importance of preserving and showcasing Daumier's work. This masterpiece, with its timeless themes of affordability, housing, and the human condition, continues to resonate with audiences and remains an enduring testament to the artistic genius of Honore Daumier.
