“"- How are you feeling today, Mr. Chapolard? - Madame Pochet, a concierge who knows how to behave, should address her landlord only in the third person. - How can I talk to you in the third person, since you are the firs” (1852) is the kind of sheet Daumier made by the thousand: a blunt, observing drawing of ordinary people, the law, or the Paris street. Most are lithographs. A few are paintings.
