"Slaapkamerinterieur met man die een kamerpot van Ragotins voet haalt" (1729) by Louis Surugue is a humorous etching depicting a scene in which a man is stuck in a bed with a chamber pot trapped under his foot. The scene is filled with figures, some looking on in amusement, some attempting to help, and some seemingly oblivious. The image, held in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the daily life and social dynamics of 18th-century society, highlighting a humorous situation that would have resonated with the general audience. Surugue's detailed depiction captures the chaotic energy of the scene, making this a charming example of satirical printmaking.
