"Echtgenoot ziet zijn vrouw wandelen met neef" (Husband sees his wife walking with her cousin) is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier created in 1837. It depicts a husband, with arms crossed, looking with disapproval at his wife walking away with another man, likely a cousin, as the title suggests. The drawing is part of a series called *Cours d’Histoire Naturelle* (Course of Natural History), known for its satirical portrayal of Parisian society. Daumier, a renowned caricaturist, uses exaggerated features and expressions to highlight the humor and social commentary of the piece. This lithograph, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Daumier’s unique artistic style and his keen observation of 19th-century French life.
