Bien tout de meme, Rostchild vient de souscrire ... 

"Bien tout de meme, Rostchild vient de souscrire ...", a satirical drawing by Jean-Louis Forain, depicts a scene in a cafe, possibly in Paris. Forain was a prominent French artist who captured the social and political realities of his time, known for his sharp wit and incisive commentary. This drawing portrays a man seated at a table, likely a wealthy individual based on his attire and the inscription at the bottom of the page. The inscription suggests he is being served expensive wine but hesitates to pay. The visual style, employing quick, gestural lines and muted colors, exemplifies Forain's artistic approach, which was often characterized by caricature and irony.
