"Croquis d'été" is a series of lithographs created by the renowned French printmaker and caricaturist Honoré Daumier (1808–1879). This collection of works, which translates to "Summer Sketches," was produced during the 19th century and is characteristic of Daumier's satirical and socially conscious style. The series captures the leisure activities and social habits of the Parisian bourgeoisie during the summer months, often with a critical eye and a humorous undertone.

Daumier is best known for his incisive and humorous social commentary, and "Croquis d'été" is no exception. The lithographs often depict scenes of Parisians escaping the city's heat, engaging in popular summer pastimes such as visiting the countryside, taking trips to the seaside, or attending social gatherings. Through his keen observation, Daumier highlights the idiosyncrasies and follies of his subjects, providing insight into the social dynamics and cultural norms of the time.

As with many of Daumier's works, "Croquis d'été" employs a loose, sketch-like style that emphasizes the spontaneity and fleeting nature of the moments he captures. His use of caricature exaggerates certain features and expressions to enhance the comedic effect and to critique societal pretensions and inequalities.

Daumier's lithographs were often published in newspapers and periodicals, making his work accessible to a broad audience. "Croquis d'été" would have been no exception, contributing to the public discourse on social issues and providing entertainment through its wit and artistry. The series remains an important example of Daumier's contribution to the art of lithography and his enduring legacy as a commentator on 19th-century French society.
