"Les Bigarrures de l'esprit humain, No. 19 : Enfin, ma chére, (...)" is a hand-colored lithograph print by French artist Joseph Lemercier. It depicts a humorous scene of two women in a domestic setting, perhaps a boudoir or a bedroom. The work is characteristic of the 19th-century satirical genre of caricature, emphasizing exaggerated features and actions for comedic effect. This specific print is part of a larger series, highlighting the artist’s interest in social commentary and the oddities of human behavior. The print is held in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and is a delightful example of 19th-century French art.
