The artwork titled “Clytemnestra pushed by Mimi Veron (Rachel)” by Honoré Daumier is a notable piece within the Realism art movement, characterized specifically as a caricature. This artwork is currently housed at the Château de Compiègne in Compiègne, France.
The artwork depicts a dramatic scene where a figure, identified as Clytemnestra, is being pushed by another figure named Mimi Veron (Rachel). The caricature is skillfully drawn with a keen attention to the expression and posture of the characters, encapsulating a moment of tension and urgency. The background shows a bed with crossed batons on the wall above it, perhaps adding to the narrative’s dramatic essence. The exaggerated features and the satirical style are characteristic of Daumier’s work within the Realism movement.
