Man en vrouw vechten om een brief 1827 - 1829

"Man en vrouw vechten om een brief" (1827-1829) by Charles Philipon is a satirical lithograph depicting a couple in a heated argument over a letter. The man, dressed in a fashionable frock coat, holds a crumpled piece of paper, while the woman, adorned in a yellow and white dress, gestures with a feather quill. Philipon's work often lampooned social conventions and political events of his time. This piece, with its humorous portrayal of a domestic dispute, provides a glimpse into the dynamics of 19th-century Parisian society.
