Les Bigarrures de l 'esprit humain, ca. 1830-1831, No. 16 : Monsieur et Madam (...) c. 1830 - 1831

This lithograph by Joseph Lemercier, titled "Les Bigarrures de l'esprit humain, ca. 1830-1831, No. 16: Monsieur et Madam (...)" depicts a satirical scene of a couple and their child. The man is exaggeratedly bowing while the woman appears aloof and uninterested. The playful use of line and color creates a humorous depiction of societal manners, likely intended for a discerning audience interested in French social commentary of the 19th century.
