"Caricature of Émile Combes by Charles Léandre" is a notable work by the French painter, illustrator, and caricaturist Charles Léandre (1862–1934), known for his satirical depictions of political figures and societal mores of his time. Created during the early 20th century, this caricature portrays Émile Combes (1835–1921), a prominent French statesman who served as the Prime Minister of France from 1902 to 1905.

Léandre's caricature captures Combes during his tenure as Prime Minister, a period marked by the French government's implementation of anti-clerical policies, including the separation of the Church and State, which culminated in the 1905 French law on the Separation of the Churches and the State. Combes, a staunch supporter of secularism and a key figure in the French Third Republic, is depicted with exaggerated features, a common technique in caricature to emphasize certain traits or attitudes of the subject.

The artwork is reflective of the vibrant tradition of political caricature in France, which has a rich history dating back to the 18th century. Léandre, a respected artist in this genre, contributed to various journals such as "Le Rire" and "L'Assiette au Beurre," where his works, including the caricature of Émile Combes, would have been published, reaching a wide audience and influencing public opinion.

As a significant piece of political and cultural history, the caricature not only offers insight into the artistic style of Charles Léandre but also serves as a visual commentary on the political climate of the time, illustrating the power of art as a tool for social and political critique. The caricature remains an important artifact for historians and art enthusiasts alike, providing a window into the early 20th-century French society and the role of satire in the discourse surrounding church-state relations.
