Husbands Always Make Me Laugh: How badly you lie, my dear 1853

"Husbands Always Make Me Laugh: How badly you lie, my dear" is a lithograph by French artist Paul Gavarni, created in 1853. This satirical print depicts a couple seated at a table, with the woman seemingly caught in a lie by the man's gaze. The scene is a snapshot of Parisian life and a humorous commentary on the dynamics of relationships. The lithograph's expressive lines and the couple's subtle gestures evoke the tension and amusement of the moment, capturing a universal truth about marriage and marital infidelity, a characteristic theme in Gavarni's work.
