C'est un petit diable un vrai Dauphin... 1839
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier. This masterpiece, titled "He's a little devil, a real dolphin (Dauphin); he loves the water! if we didn't hold on to him...he would stay there all day," is part of Daumier's series "Les Baigneurs" (The Bathing Party). The image portrays a jovial father and his two young sons at the beach. The father, with a mischievous grin on his face, holds on to the youngest son, who is eagerly trying to join his older brother in the water. The older brother, a naked boy, is joyfully splashing around in the sea, while the youngest, also naked, is determined to join him. The father's caption, "He's a little devil, a real dolphin (Dauphin); he loves the water! if we didn't hold on to him...he would stay there all day," adds a humorous and playful commentary to the scene. The black and white image, with its simple yet powerful composition, captures the essence of family, fatherhood, and the joys of childhood. The artist's use of satire and parody is evident in the title, which highlights the child's behavior as that of a mischievous dolphin. This image is a delightful reminder of the carefree days of childhood and the bond between father and son. This lithograph, now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, is a testament to Daumier's artistic genius and his ability to capture the essence of everyday life with wit and humor. The image invites us to reflect on the importance of family, the joy of the seaside, and the simple pleasures of childhood.
