“Enough, enough, it's much too tight!! - But not at all, Monsieur, this fabric suits you like a glove!”, a lithograph by Honoré Daumier, depicts a humorous scene of a man being fitted for a new suit. The exaggerated features of the figures and the comical dialogue highlight the artist's keen observation of social interactions and fashion trends of 19th-century Parisian life. This plate, part of the Coquetterie series, exemplifies Daumier's satirical style and his masterful use of lithographic techniques to capture the human condition.
