Figure 30.1 HONORÉ DAUMIER, The Third-Class Carriage, ca. 1862. Oil on

canvas, 25^3 ⁄ 4  351 ⁄ 2 in. A lower-class family, consisting of a grandmother, her

daughter, and two children, are depicted with the candor and immediacy that

typifies Daumier’s on-the-spot visual records of Parisian life.

“Show me an angel and I’ll paint one.”
