Probably created during the early 1900s, his depiction of a visibly nervous law student undergoing the bar examination is a typical example of his humorous style. Our edition by Lucas pairs this image with miniature reproductions of four of Daumier's well-know images of French lawyers and judges and a line drawing of the scales of justice.
