This humorous lithograph, *Man ziet zijn eigen beeltenis in de Galerie Physionomique*, portrays a man examining a caricature of himself in a book. The anonymous artist, working in the 19th century, captures the comedic awkwardness of the subject’s realization with exaggerated features and a slightly panicked expression. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a playful example of the satirical style of the period, likely referencing the popular "physiognomy" movement, which attempted to link facial features to character.
