"Man met vissenkop presenteert zijn dochter aan de hertog van Orléans" is a satirical print by Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard Grandville, created between 1828 and 1829. The print depicts a group of anthropomorphic figures, including a man with a fish head presenting his daughter to a man with an owl head, all in humorous and exaggerated poses, showcasing Grandville's mastery of caricature. This work exemplifies the artist's use of animal heads to satirize human nature and social interactions, which was a recurring theme in his work. It belongs to the genre of caricature, popular in the 19th century, known for its witty and often biting social commentary.
