Very Cold at Paris 1806

"Very Cold at Paris" is a satirical hand-colored etching created in 1806 by an anonymous artist. The print depicts a group of fashionable Parisians bundled up in heavy winter clothing. The exaggerated attire and postures poke fun at the excesses of Parisian fashion during the Napoleonic era. This artwork offers a glimpse into the social commentary and visual humor of early 19th-century printmaking. It is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
