Summary
Daumier intended this swaggering bully, Ratapoil (rat skin), to satirize the unscrupulous political agents who connived to help Louis Napoleon rise to power and become "Emperor of the French" (1852-70). None of Daumier's models in clay, wax, or plaster were cast in bronze during his lifetime. This example, ordered from the foundry of Siot-Decauville in 1891 by George A. Lucas, William T. Walters' art advisor, is ranked among the earliest and finest casts of the subject.
