Le Gastronome aprés diner 1819

"Le Gastronome aprés diner" (1819) by Gerhard Ludvig Lahde is a satirical print depicting a man, likely a gourmand, slumped over in a chair after a heavy meal. The figure is comically exaggerated in size and posture, highlighting the humorous consequences of overindulgence. Lahde's work often featured social commentary and playful observations on human behavior, making this piece a charming example of his satirical style. The print, now housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst, offers a glimpse into the social norms and humor of the early 19th century.
