Est-ce que votre mari serait jaloux... 1845

This lithograph, created in 1845 by Honoré Daumier, captures a scene of social commentary through a humorous lens. Titled "Est-ce que votre mari serait jaloux...," it depicts a man in a top hat flirting with a woman while her husband, who appears rough and unkempt, walks away in the background. Daumier, known for his satirical depictions of Parisian life, uses exaggeration and caricature to highlight the social disparities and comedic situations of the time. This work exemplifies Daumier's mastery of lithography, a popular printmaking technique in 19th century France.
