"Ciel!...je trouve ma femme déménagée!" is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, a prominent 19th-century French artist known for his social commentary. The print depicts a man in a top hat, returning home after a period of absence, only to find his wife has moved out, leaving behind a few belongings. The caption "Oh! après trois mois d'absence, je trouve ma femme déménagé! - elle, grand Dieu!" ("Oh! after three months of absence, I find my wife moved out! - her, great God!") underscores the man's shock and dismay, making this a satirical commentary on the complexities of marital life.
