Il est charmant je vous dis... c. 19th century

"Il est charmant je vous dis..." (He is charming, I tell you...), a lithograph from Honoré Daumier's "Types Parisiens" series, depicts two women seated at a table with a small dog. The artist’s signature satirical style is evident in the exaggerated features of the women and the humorous scene. The work likely comments on the social dynamics and foibles of Parisian society in the 19th century. Daumier's lithographs, often using a simple black and white palette, became iconic for their wit and incisive social commentary.
