"Caricature of Stalin from the French journal 'Fantasio' by Adrien Barrère" is a notable work of political satire by the French artist and caricaturist Adrien Barrère (1877–1931), who was renowned for his depictions of public figures and celebrities of his time. The caricature in question portrays Joseph Stalin, the Soviet leader who ruled the USSR with an iron fist from the mid-1920s until his death in 1953. Barrère's work was published in 'Fantasio', a popular French magazine that featured a mix of humor, satire, and literary content, and was influential in the early 20th century.

The caricature is significant both as an example of Barrère's artistic style and as a historical document reflecting the perception of Stalin in the French media during the interwar period. Barrère's depiction of Stalin would have been one of the ways in which the French public engaged with the image of the Soviet leader, at a time when the USSR was both an object of fascination and concern in Western Europe. The caricature likely employs exaggerated features and symbolism to convey political commentary, a common technique in Barrère's work, which was characterized by sharp wit and a keen eye for capturing the essence of his subjects.

As a piece of political art, the caricature serves as a lens through which to examine the cultural and political climate of the era, as well as the role of satire in shaping public opinion. It also contributes to the understanding of the evolution of caricature as an art form and its impact on political discourse. The work is an important artifact in the study of both Adrien Barrère's oeuvre and the broader context of European caricature in the early 20th century.
