A rare and charming original 19th-century French lithograph by renowned caricaturist Honoré Daumier, published in 1843 as part of his celebrated satirical series "Les Canotiers Parisiens". This particular piece captures a humorous nautical scene: two Parisian sailors ashore helplessly watching their rowboat float away after the rope tethering it has snapped. One sailor stands in resigned exasperation, while the other appears stunned, perfectly conveying Daumier’s gift for expressive, comedic storytelling through simple line work. Originally published in a French newspaper, this lithograph is an authentic antique print, not a reproduction. It has been professionally mounted and framed using archival materials to preserve its condition and enhance its display. The frame is a classic black wood with a subtle gold fillet, complementing the historic tone of the print without distracting from the artwork. A wonderful piece for collectors of 19th-century French satire, nautical humor, or antique prints. Frame is 18 1/4 x 17 x 1, artwork 10 1/4 x 9
