Kiss papa with pinches 1833

"Kiss Papa with Pinches" is a lithograph by French artist Auguste Raffet (1804-1860) and is housed in the Art Institute of Chicago. Raffet, known for his depictions of military life and historical scenes, uses this work to depict a domestic scene. The print shows a family huddled around a fireplace, with a father seated in a chair holding a child, a mother holding a younger child, and a daughter standing in the doorway with a dog. Raffet's use of detail and subtle expressions in this lithograph captures the warmth and intimacy of family life.
