Vous êtes un jeune homme bien né!... c. 19th century

This lithograph by Honoré Daumier, titled "Vous êtes un jeune homme bien né!..., " is a satirical portrayal of two Parisians from the 19th century. The artist utilizes caricature to exaggerate their features, emphasizing their differing appearances and attitudes. The man on the left is depicted with a long, thin nose and an elongated figure, while the man on the right has a large, prominent eye patch. The inscription beneath the figures reads: "You are a well-born young man... I see you with a good eye," suggesting a humorous commentary on social class and perception. Daumier's "Types Parisiens" series, which this piece belongs to, offered a critical yet playful glimpse into the lives and eccentricities of 19th-century Parisians.
