"The Dessert: My eldest is full of spirit!...he is very advanced for his age...I intend to make a lawyer of him." is a lithograph by the French artist Auguste Raffet, created in 1837. The artwork depicts a family gathered around a table enjoying dessert, with a playful child pulling at a door in the foreground. The scene showcases Raffet’s talent for capturing the dynamics of everyday life, with humor and social commentary, as he depicts a family gathering in the 19th century. This lithograph is a poignant example of Raffet’s use of social satire to explore domestic scenes and everyday life. The Art Institute of Chicago houses this piece.
