Les maris me font toujours rire: Et voilà le grandissime secret... 1852

*Les maris me font toujours rire: Et voilà le grandissime secret...,* (Husbands Always Make Me Laugh: And Here is the Greatest Secret) is a lithograph by Paul Gavarni (1804-1866). The print depicts a domestic scene of two figures, one man and one woman, sitting at a table. The woman, dressed in a cloak and hood, appears to be reading a letter while the man, looking on with a smile, is reading a letter over her shoulder. The image is a classic example of Gavarni's keen observation of Parisian social life, capturing the humorous tension between a husband and wife. The lithograph, originally published in a collection of satirical engravings, was acquired by the Art Institute of Chicago in 1934.
