Caricature. No. 7. 2eme Partie. Les manie de la Truelle. 1832

Eugène-Louis Lami’s "Caricature. No. 7. 2eme Partie. Les manie de la Truelle." from 1832 is a hand-colored lithograph depicting a satirical scene of Parisian social life. This print is part of a series of caricatures that Lami created to depict “The Life of the Chateau.” The print, which measures 7 3/8 x 10 inches, shows a group of Parisians gathered in a park, with a man in the foreground pointing to a nearby construction project. The scene highlights the trends of fashion, leisure activities, and the changing social landscape of the time. The work is a valuable document of the art of caricature in the 19th century and provides insights into the social and cultural customs of the era.
