"And in this suit for seperation, gentlemen, observe two things" from *Metamorphoses of the Day* is a satirical lithograph by French artist J.J. Grandville, created in 1829. The artwork depicts a courtroom scene with animals dressed in human clothing. Grandville's use of animal imagery is characteristic of his work, which often satirized the follies of human society. The lithograph's humor and sharp social commentary resonated with audiences of the time and continue to be relevant today. This particular piece is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
