Ma femme reste bien longtemps a ce banquet ... c. 19th century

"Ma femme reste bien longtemps à ce banquet..." is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier from the 19th century. This satirical cartoon from the series “Les Femmes Socialistes” depicts a man impatiently waiting at home while his wife is out at a banquet. The man is exaggeratedly slumped in a chair, looking dejected, while a small child wearing his wife’s top hat sits at his feet. Daumier's use of caricature and humor aimed to critique social norms and the role of women in 19th-century France, particularly within the context of political and social movements.
