The revolt of the pastry chefs

Honoré Daumier

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white cartoon drawing of a group of men, likely chefs or bakers, rioting outside a bakery. The men are wearing chef hats and clothing. One man is holding a large wooden spoon, another a rolling pin. The men appear to be in motion. The bakery has a sign that reads "BOULANGERIE" and a display window with pastries. The scene depicts chaos. The title at the top reads "ACTUALITES" and at the bottom "L'insurrection des patissiers".
