"The Headache" (French: "La Migraine") is a notable work by the French printmaker, caricaturist, painter, and sculptor Honoré Daumier (1808–1879). Created circa 1860–1865, this lithograph is part of Daumier's extensive oeuvre that often satirized the social and political life of France in the 19th century. Daumier is renowned for his incisive and humorous social commentary, and "The Headache" is no exception, offering a glimpse into the everyday struggles and private moments of the period's middle-class citizens.

The piece depicts a man suffering from a headache, his discomfort palpable in the expressive lines and the composition of the work. The subject is shown with his head in his hand, an embodiment of physical pain and mental anguish. The use of shading and the man's furrowed brow convey a sense of depth and intensity, reflecting Daumier's skill in capturing human emotion and condition.

"The Headache" is part of a larger body of Daumier's work that addresses the theme of health and medicine, a common concern in the 19th century due to frequent epidemics and the often rudimentary state of medical knowledge. Daumier's lithographs were widely disseminated through publications like "Le Charivari," a Parisian satirical magazine, where his social critiques reached a broad audience.

As with many of Daumier's lithographs, "The Headache" serves as both a work of art and a historical document, offering insight into the cultural and societal norms of his time. The piece is held in various collections and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and its place within the context of 19th-century French art and society.
