"He has each of them, as they say in the journals devoted to the fine arts" from Scenes from the Private and Public Life of Animals 1832 - 1852

This lithograph from J.J. Grandville’s “Scenes from the Private and Public Life of Animals” is a satirical and humorous depiction of an anthropomorphized animal, likely a rabbit, dressed in elaborate 18th-century garb. This particular work is an example of Grandville’s talent for combining the absurd and the human to create compelling social commentary. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City houses this piece which is part of a larger collection of similar satirical animal figures.
