“- Mr. Colimard, if you don't stop immediately ogling the dancers in such an unseemly manner, I will take you home before the end of the performance!,” plate 4 from Croquis Pris Au Théatre par Daumier 1864

This lithograph, “- Mr. Colimard, if you don't stop immediately ogling the dancers in such an unseemly manner, I will take you home before the end of the performance!”, is from Honoré Daumier’s series *Croquis Pris Au Théatre* (Sketches Taken at the Theatre). The series uses satirical humor to depict the foibles of Parisian society, including the scandalous behavior of theatregoers. The print shows a man at the theatre, using binoculars to look at the ballet dancers, with his wife exasperatedly reprimanding him. Daumier’s sharp social commentary and ability to capture the essence of human nature through caricature cemented his reputation as a major figure in 19th-century French art.
