Les Baigneuses prudentes

Executed in lithography on newsprint, the work showcases Daumier's use of rough lines to enhance the comedic effect of the scene, aligning with his caricaturist approach.

Created for publication in a newspaper, likely *La Caricature* or *Le Charivari*, where Daumier was a regular contributor, aligning his republican views with social commentary through mass-reachable mediums.

Part of Daumier's broader output targeting the monarchy, aristocracy, and clergy, this work reflects his democratic leanings and critique of societal norms in mid-19th-century France.
