Vrouw laat haar man door verrekijker turen 1845

"Vrouw laat haar man door verrekijker turen" (Woman lets her husband look through binoculars) is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, created in 1845. The artwork depicts a satirical scene of a husband using a telescope to look at something in the distance, while his wife sits ignored beside him. Daumier, a renowned 19th-century artist, was known for his social commentary and often used caricature to highlight the absurdities of everyday life. This print, part of a series titled "Pastorales," critiques the obliviousness and disinterest of men in the face of their wives' needs, offering a humorous yet poignant observation of gender roles and relationships during this period. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
