Kind laat slecht rapport aan man zien 1836

"Le billet de contentement" (The Note of Contentment), an 1836 lithograph by French artist Auguste Raffet, depicts a family scene with a young boy receiving a poor report card from his teacher. The boy stands dejectedly with his head down, his parents looking on with mixed emotions. The detail and composition of the scene give insight into the everyday life of a family during this period. The lithograph is a prime example of Raffet's focus on social commentary, particularly in the context of 19th-century France. "Le billet de contentement" currently resides in the Rijksmuseum.
