At 30°C, lucky he who can escape and snooze in the forest of Saint-Germain accompanied by his wife and a few lizards, plate 27 from Les Bons Bourgeois 1847

"At 30°C, lucky he who can escape and snooze in the forest of Saint-Germain accompanied by his wife and a few lizards" is a lithograph print from Honoré Daumier’s series "Les Bons Bourgeois" (The Good Bourgeois). This satirical print, created in 1847, portrays a wealthy couple relaxing in a crowded forest. The exaggerated features and poses highlight the leisure and obliviousness of the wealthy while showcasing Daumier’s masterful use of line and shading to capture the bustling atmosphere of the forest. The print is a humorous commentary on the excesses of the French bourgeoisie and their desire for escape from the heat and crowds of Paris.
