Bourgeois se fesant lire, après diner, quelques chapitres... 1847

"Bourgeois se fesant lire, après diner, quelques chapitres..." (1847) by Honoré Daumier, depicts a comical scene of a bourgeois man, seemingly asleep, while a woman reads aloud to him. Daumier, known for his satirical lithographs, captures the foibles of the middle class with wit and exaggeration. This image is a testament to Daumier's observational skills and his ability to satirize social dynamics through masterful use of line and shading.
