"Man Receives a Bill for Foolishness" (Man ontvangt rekening voor stommiteiten) is a satirical lithograph by Henry-Bonaventure Monnier, created in 1826. The artwork depicts a man in an extravagant outfit receiving a bill from a stern creditor while another individual discreetly peeks from behind a door. Monnier’s work often satirized social customs and human folly through caricatured characters and witty situations. This print, now in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies his talent for exposing the ridiculousness of vanity and indulgence.
