"I left as the Attorney-General of Moinraux in Paris" is a lithograph from J. J. Grandville's satirical series *Scenes from the Private and Public Life of Animals*, which features anthropomorphized animals as a commentary on human behavior. This print depicts a bird with a human body in a formal outfit, carrying a walking stick, a lantern, and a knapsack, implying an official role in a society of animals. Grandville's series is known for its wit and social commentary, challenging traditional hierarchies and drawing humor from unexpected situations.
