Caricature. No. 7. Une visite dans le voisinage. 1828

Eugène-Louis Lami's "Caricature. No. 7. Une visite dans le voisinage." (1828) is a humorous illustration depicting a group of fashionable Parisians interrupting a game of billiards. The exaggerated features and postures of the figures, particularly the ladies' large hats and the gentleman's awkward stance with a billiard cue, create a sense of playful satire. This hand-colored lithograph, part of a series of "Caricatures," showcases Lami's talent for capturing the social foibles of his time, offering a glimpse into 19th-century Parisian life.
