"The Hunt" from The Complete Works of Béranger 1836

"The Hunt" (La Chasse), an 1836 lithograph by French artist J. J. Grandville, depicts a humorous scene of a hunter, a woman, and a dog. The hunter, dressed in traditional hunting garb, stands with his foot resting on a chair. The woman, standing with a large, elaborate gown, gestures towards the hunter. The dog seems to be sniffing at the hunter's foot, adding to the comedic nature of the scene. This work is an example of Grandville's characteristic satirical style, often utilizing caricature and exaggerated features to critique social norms. This lithograph is part of the "Complete Works of Béranger" series and is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
