"Here is one who mends by nicely biting" from Scenes from the Private and Public Life of Animals 1832 - 1852

"Here is one who mends by nicely biting" is a lithograph from J.J. Grandville's series "Scenes from the Private and Public Life of Animals," created between 1832 and 1852. This satirical print depicts a mouse-headed woman sitting in a chair, sewing and seemingly biting the fabric. The work is known for its humorous social commentary on the lives of animals and people. The image, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the artist's playful and often sharp observations about human nature.
