Une émeute

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is an image of a classroom filled with chaos. Books and papers are airborne while a teacher, dressed formally, stands at the center. Surrounding the teacher are enthusiastic students, raising their hands and holding sticks. The composition is dynamic and captures the energy of the scenario. In the lower portion of the drawing, there are printed words that add context to the satire and humor of the image.
