Husbands Always Make Me Laugh: It's hard to believe 1852

"Husbands Always Make Me Laugh: It's hard to believe" is a lithograph created by French artist Paul Gavarni in 1852. The work depicts two women in conversation, one in a dark gown, the other in a lighter dress, their faces obscured by bonnets. The image's composition emphasizes the women's gestures and the subtle interplay of light and shadow, reflecting Gavarni's masterful use of line and detail. The inscription below the image in French adds humor and social commentary, further highlighting Gavarni's signature style of capturing Parisian life through witty and often satirical depictions of social interactions. This work is part of the Art Institute of Chicago's collection.
