"A Man Holding a Theatre Programme Looking Back at an Eavesdropper in a Theatre Stall" is a lithograph by the French artist Honoré Daumier, created in the 19th century. Daumier, renowned for his social commentary and satirical works, often depicted scenes from everyday life, particularly focusing on the behaviors and mannerisms of the Parisian society of his time. This particular lithograph is part of Daumier's extensive body of work that captures the world of the theater, a subject that fascinated the artist and served as a microcosm for his observations of human nature and social dynamics.

The lithograph portrays a moment of tension and curiosity within the semi-private environment of a theater stall. A man, presumably an audience member, is depicted holding a theatre programme while casting a suspicious or perhaps annoyed glance back at another figure, the eavesdropper, who appears to be intruding upon his space or listening in on a conversation. The interaction between the two characters is a study in social etiquette and the boundaries of personal space, themes that Daumier frequently explored through his art.

Daumier's work is characterized by its expressive line work and keen eye for detail, which is evident in the rendering of the figures' expressions and the atmosphere of the theater setting. The lithograph is a testament to Daumier's skill in conveying narrative and emotion through his art, as well as his ability to critique and satirize the societal norms of his day.

As with many of Daumier's lithographs, "A Man Holding a Theatre Programme Looking Back at an Eavesdropper in a Theatre Stall" serves not only as a piece of artistic expression but also as a historical document, providing insight into the cultural life of 19th-century France. The work is an important part of Daumier's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of the social context and artistic movements of the period.
