"Les Propos de Thomas Vireloque: His Majesty the King of beasts" is a lithograph by Paul Gavarni, a well-known French caricaturist, dated 1852. It's a satirical depiction of two figures; one, a man in a worn coat, stands dramatically with his hand on his head. The other figure, a man with a shaggy beard, lies asleep, his hat on the ground. The artwork satirizes the social classes of 19th-century France, drawing a sharp contrast between the postures and appearances of the two individuals. The lithograph is currently part of The Art Institute of Chicago's collection.
