The Third-Class Carriage

Artist: Honore Daumier
Artwork: The Third-Class Carriage
Description: This drawing is a preparatory study for a larger painting by Daumier with the same title. It shows a crowded third-class railway carriage, with a woman standing in the foreground holding a baby. The people in the carriage are from all walks of life, and they are all trying to find a comfortable position. The drawing is a powerful indictment of the social conditions of the time, and it shows Daumier’s skill at capturing the human condition.
