"Con las suegras, poco y bueno" is a satirical lithograph by Manuel Manilla, a Mexican artist active in the late 19th century. This image, depicting a humorous scene of a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law having a conversation, exemplifies the genre of *género chico*, a popular form of Spanish theater known for its lighthearted and often comical narratives. The text below the illustration portrays a humorous exchange between the two women, using colloquial language and playful rhymes. This work, housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, offers a glimpse into the social dynamics and humorous outlook of 19th-century Mexican society.
