EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithographic print by Honore Daumier captures a scene of tension and contrast in the series "Tenants and Owners". Plate 20, titled "A tenant who owes three terms" depicts a male tenant who finds himself in deep debt to his landlord. The image portrays a dilapidated staircase, symbolizing the deteriorating financial situation of the tenant. The young debtor is shown hiding on one of the steps, wearing a hat as if trying to conceal his identity. His facial expression reflects anxiety and fear as he tries to avoid confrontation with his angry landlord. In stark contrast, the elderly owner stands tall at the top of the stairs, representing authority and power. Daumier's satirical approach highlights social issues prevalent during July Monarchy in France. The cartoon-like caricature emphasizes the divide between rich and poor, with an underlying commentary on lending practices by bankers and usurers. The composition also draws attention to monetary matters; coins are scattered around both figures - perhaps illustrating how money plays a significant role in this conflict. Through this artwork, Daumier sheds light on societal inequalities while providing biting commentary on financial struggles faced by Parisians during that era. This print from Fine Art Finder serves as a visual reminder of historical circumstances surrounding tenants' debts and their relationship with landlords during this period.
