"Having said that, this poor invalid gives us a curtsy, and goes hobbling off" is a lithograph from J. J. Grandville's *Scenes from the Private and Public Life of Animals*, a collection of satirical illustrations that depict animals engaging in human activities. This particular lithograph shows a rooster dressed in human clothing, a cane in his hand, who seems to be in a hurry, as he hobbles away from the viewer, and bows in a theatrical manner. The work exemplifies Grandville's signature style, characterized by detailed, expressive illustrations that combine humor and social commentary.
