"It fits you like a glove!," plate 34 from Types Parisiens 1839

"It fits you like a glove!," plate 34 from *Types Parisiens* is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, a French artist who was known for his social commentary. Created in 1839, the artwork depicts a scene of Parisian life, showcasing a hat salesman trying to convince a customer that a hat, clearly too small for him, "fits like a glove!" This satirical piece, part of Daumier's series *Types Parisiens*, is a commentary on the practices of Parisian merchants, using caricature and social observation to expose the absurdity of societal norms. It's a work that captures the bustling energy of 19th century Paris, while simultaneously critiquing its social dynamics. The Art Institute of Chicago holds this lithograph, a testament to its importance in art history.
