"Did anyone ever forgive an awkward visit?" is a lithograph by French artist J. J. Grandville from 1843. The work depicts a humorous scene of social awkwardness, a common theme in Grandville's "Little Miseries of Human Life" series. The image shows a man and woman, likely a couple, being let into a house by a nervous-looking maid, emphasizing the uncomfortable situation. Grandville's distinctive style, characterized by exaggerated features and whimsical details, makes this print a classic example of caricature and social satire. The artwork is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City.
