"Two Judges" is an artwork by Honoré Daumier, a French printmaker, caricaturist, painter, and sculptor, known for his satirical works critiquing the social and political landscape of 19th-century France. Daumier's work often targeted the corruption within the legal system and the hypocrisy of the bourgeoisie, making the judiciary a frequent subject of his art.

"Two Judges" is believed to be a lithograph, a medium Daumier mastered and frequently employed to disseminate his works widely through periodicals of the time. The piece is part of Daumier's broader efforts to portray the legal profession with a critical eye, showcasing judges not as paragons of justice but as flawed humans subject to the same vices and follies as the general populace.

The artwork typically features two judicial figures, often depicted in a satirical light, with exaggerated facial expressions or postures that suggest complicity, weariness, or cynicism. This portrayal serves to underscore the artist's skepticism about the fairness and integrity of the legal system.

As with many of Daumier's lithographs, "Two Judges" would have been published in a journal such as "La Caricature" or "Le Charivari," periodicals that were at the forefront of political and social satire during the July Monarchy and the subsequent French Republics. These publications provided Daumier with a platform to reach a broad audience and to contribute to the public discourse on justice and governance.

The exact date of creation for "Two Judges" is not readily available, but Daumier's active period of producing legal-themed lithographs spanned from the 1830s to the 1860s. His work in this genre culminated in the renowned series "Les Gens de Justice" (The People of Justice), which included numerous prints that dissected the legal profession with humor and critical insight.

"Two Judges" is representative of Daumier's enduring legacy as a commentator on social justice and as a master of lithography. His works remain influential for their artistic technique and for their poignant, often biting, social commentary. The piece is held in various art collections and has been displayed in exhibitions that focus on Daumier's contributions to the art of caricature and his impact on the depiction of legal and political subjects in visual art.
