EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Dreaming that she had won many bars of gold" is a remarkable piece created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in 1851. Published in le Charivari on October 27th, it belongs to the series of Actualities (No. 238) and showcases Daumier's exceptional talent as a satirical illustrator. The composition depicts a woman lost in her dreams, imagining herself surrounded by numerous bars of gold. The intricate details captured within this lithograph are truly mesmerizing; from the delicate lines defining the woman's features to the meticulous shading that brings depth and dimension to her surroundings. Daumier masterfully conveys both the allure and folly of material wealth through this artwork. The viewer is invited to contemplate how our desires for riches can consume us, leading us into a world where reality blurs with fantasy. Measuring at approximately 25.9 x 37.3 cm, this print transports us back to mid-19th century France when political unrest was brewing beneath society's surface. Through his artistry, Daumier often critiqued social issues and commented on political events during this period. Today, we can still appreciate Daumier's genius as we gaze upon this lithograph from Liszt Collection - an exquisite representation of his artistic prowess and ability to capture human emotions with such finesse.
