Mon défunt me donne des numéros
EDITORS COMMENTS
(My deceased husband gives me lottery numbers), a captivating lithograph by Honore Daumier, created in 1833, showcases an elderly woman in a state of blissful slumber, dreaming of striking it rich through her late husband's supposed lottery winnings. The image, part of Daumier's "L'Imagination" series, was first published in the French satirical weekly magazine "Le Charivari." The woman, depicted with a serene expression, lies in bed, her eyes closed, while a gold coin and lottery tickets with the numbers "1, 2, 13, 14" cascade from the heavens above. The caption beneath the image reads, "Mon défunt me donne des numéros, je gagne un quaterne, je recois une aubade, je roule sur l'or" (My deceased husband gives me lottery tickets, I have four winning numbers, I receive a dawn serenade, I am rolling in gold!). Daumier's use of humor and satire in this work highlights the contrast between the woman's impoverished reality and her fantasies of wealth and fortune. The image serves as a commentary on the human desire for financial security and the role that dreams and imagination play in alleviating the hardships of poverty. The print, now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, is a testament to Daumier's mastery of the lithographic medium and his ability to capture the essence of human emotion and experience. The image's timeless appeal continues to resonate with viewers, offering a glimpse into the dreams and desires that transcend the boundaries of time and culture.
