EDITORS COMMENTS
Sans doute M. Riflot le droit... 1839" (No doubt the law, M. Riflot) is a captivating lithograph in black on wove paper created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in 1839. This monochrome masterpiece, also known as "Singles' Day (La Journee du Celibataire)" or "Honore Daumier, Victorin: Debating the Law," is a testament to Daumier's exceptional talent as a caricaturist and social commentator. The image depicts a heated debate between two men, both dressed in formal attire, seated at a table. The intensity of their discussion is palpable as they lean forward, gesturing animatedly towards each other. The background is filled with a chaotic scene of dogs, adding a humorous and chaotic element to the otherwise serious scene. The central figure, M. Riflot, is depicted with a quizzical expression, as if pondering the words of his interlocutor. The use of grey tones adds to the overall sense of depth and complexity, while the intricate lettering and illustrative details add to the historical and cultural significance of the work. This lithograph is a rare and valuable example of Daumier's work, showcasing his unique ability to capture the essence of human interaction and the complexities of societal debates. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, particularly in the area of French caricature and satire. This work is part of the rich artistic heritage of France and is a testament to the enduring power of art to provoke thought and spark conversation. It can be found in many prestigious art galleries and museums around the world, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.
