“- Open up..... it's me.... the veal-stew!,” plate 17 from Tout Ce Qu'on Voudra 1847

"Open Up..... it's me.... the Veal-Stew!," is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier from his series Tout Ce Qu'on Voudra (Anything You Want). The 1847 print depicts two figures, the one on the left holding a plate of food, the other standing behind him with a similar plate and looking back to the viewer. The print is a satirical commentary on the social and political life of 19th-century France, Daumier's work is known for its sharp wit and social commentary, and this print is a prime example of that.
