Examples from texts

Then, Laurent plunged into caricature: he exaggerated the features, he produced monstrous profiles, he invented grotesque heads, but only succeeded in rendering the striking portrait of his victim more horrible.
Alors Laurent se jeta dans la caricature, il exagéra les traits, il fit des profils monstrueux, il inventa des têtes grotesques, et il ne réussit qu'à rendre plus horribles ces portraits frappants de sa victime.

Marthereau droops his arms and wags his weary head—and the shadow of the double gesture is thrown on the partition by the lean light in a sudden caricature.
Il laisse tomber ses bras, hoche sa tête lassée – et la lumière légère jette sur la cloison l’ombre de ce double geste, en fait une brusque caricature.

And here, see, are four more men coming down the road, their gait heavy and slow, their boots turned into enormous caricatures of boots by reason of the mud.

The men become caricatures of what physical men ought to be, and their women and children are pale and anaemic, with eyes ringed darkly, who stoop and slouch, and are early twisted out of all shapeliness and beauty.
Les hommes ne sont plus que des caricatures d'eux-mêmes, leurs femmes et leurs enfants sont pâles et anémiés, leurs yeux sont cerclés de noir, ils ont le dos voûté et traînent la savate, et deviennent très vite rachitiques, sans grâce et sans beauté.
