Musée comique. Page 15 c. 1835

"Musée Comique" is a satirical print by the Gebroeders van Lier, created in 1835, and now in the Rijksmuseum. It features a series of humorous vignettes, depicting everyday life in the Netherlands. The print is a fine example of social commentary through art, using lighthearted satire to expose social follies and human quirks. Its detailed engravings, filled with lively characters and witty scenes, offer a glimpse into the daily life and cultural landscape of 19th-century Dutch society. The print's title, "Musée Comique," suggests that the scenes presented, while funny, are also a commentary on the absurdities of life and the human condition.
