ProvenanceThis print forms part of Daumier’s Locataires et Propriétaires series, a series containing over 50 lithographs published over three separate periods (1847-48, 1854, 1856). This work dates from the first set of prints belonging to the series. During the July Monarchy, the population of Paris increased greatly, and Daumier depicted some of the hardships this created for Parisian tenants and landlords alike. Here, a man is chopping wood in the middle of a room. A disgruntled landlord walks into the room and cannot believe his tenant is making so much noise. The landlord was originally under the impression he had rented out the apartment to an artist, but the tenant’s method of working reveals that he acts more like a lumberjack.
