L'éclipse sera-t-elle totale?

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a series of linear rays emanating from a central point on the right side, creating an abstract burst effect across the composition. In the lower section, there is a circular shape representing a globe with the word "EUROPE" inscribed on it. Above, a silhouetted figure with a pointed hat emerges from the shadow, with the word "LIBERTÉ" encircled above it.
