Man met kind op zijn knie, vrouw kijkt achter de deur 1818 - 1830

"Man met kind op zijn knie, vrouw kijkt achter de deur" (Man with a child on his knee, woman looking behind the door) is a lithograph by Charles Philipon, created between 1818 and 1830. It depicts a man seated with a child on his lap, while a woman stands peeking out from behind a door, suggesting a humorous domestic scene. This work is part of the "Les Amours du Bon Genre" series, a collection of lithographs that satirized contemporary social norms and relationships. Philipon, known for his political cartoons and satirical works, captured the nuances of 19th-century French society through his witty illustrations. This lithograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Philipon's signature style of blending social commentary with humor.
