Quarrel between Mother-in-law and Son-in-law n.d.

"Quarrel between Mother-in-law and Son-in-law" is a broadside, or a single sheet of printed text, by Mexican artist Manuel Manilla, dated n.d. (no date). It is a humorous depiction of a common domestic conflict between a mother-in-law and her son-in-law. The image portrays the son-in-law fleeing from the mother-in-law who is throwing a chair at him. The text, written in Spanish, accompanies the image and details the ongoing "pleito," or quarrel. This piece offers insight into 19th-century Mexican social life and humor, with a focus on the playful and satirical representation of familial dynamics. The broadside is part of The Art Institute of Chicago's collection.
