Ne l'effraye pas Eudoxie... c. 19th century

"Ne l'effraye pas Eudoxie..." is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, a prominent French artist known for his satirical cartoons, created in the 19th century. This particular print, part of the series "Les Bons Bourgeois," depicts a humorous scene of a bourgeois couple outdoors. The woman, seemingly exasperated, observes her husband's drunken stupor, while the caption humorously suggests he's mistaken her nose for a rose. Daumier's masterful use of caricature in this print, through exaggerated features and poses, exemplifies his talent for capturing the foibles and absurdities of the middle class.
