Vo regardez Miledy 1854

"Vo regardez Miledy" (1854) is a satirical lithograph by French artist Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard Grandville. The artwork depicts three figures, all with the heads of roosters, dressed in military and civilian attire. The humorous and unsettling imagery reflects Grandville's characteristic style of social commentary. The rooster's head, with its sharp beak and bright plumage, is a symbol of vanity and self-importance, and the artist uses this motif to expose the hypocrisy of society. The artwork is a prime example of Grandville’s contribution to the genre of caricature, a form of art that relies on exaggeration and distortion to make a point.
