Le Chinoise de Province et son Magot c. 1800 - 1810

"Le Chinoise de Province et son Magot," is an anonymous 19th-century satirical print depicting a fashionable woman wearing a hat adorned with elaborate flowers, walking with a man. The image, which could be interpreted as a social commentary on fashion, was created during a period of significant social and political change in Europe, where artistic expression often served as a means of critiquing societal norms. The woman's extravagant attire stands in contrast to the man's more subdued clothing. The text on the wall behind them further contributes to the satirical nature of the piece.
