"De Profundis" is a lithograph by the French artist J. J. Grandville from 1836. The image depicts a man in a top hat and coat, clutching a white handkerchief to his face as he laughs in a dimly lit room. The scene is from the book *The Complete Works of Béranger*. This print is part of a series of illustrations Grandville created for the work. Grandville was a noted caricaturist and illustrator, known for his grotesque, exaggerated figures and satirical subjects. The print is now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
