“- Here, my wife, is my daguerreotype portrait which I brought back for you from Paris... - Why didn't you have mine done while you were there... get lost, you egotist!,” plate 28 from Les Bons Bourgeois 1846

This lithograph, titled "“Here, my wife, is my daguerreotype portrait which I brought back for you from Paris... - Why didn't you have mine done while you were there... get lost, you egotist!”" and created by Honoré Daumier in 1846, depicts a humorous scene between a husband and wife. The husband has returned from a trip to Paris with a daguerreotype portrait of himself, while the wife is less than impressed by the gesture, complaining that he didn't have her portrait done while he was there. This is plate 28 from the series Les Bons Bourgeois, which satirizes the bourgeoisie of 19th century France. Daumier's distinctive style, characterized by caricature and social commentary, is evident in the exaggerated expressions and the humorous use of text. The lithograph is held by The Art Institute of Chicago.
