Caricature. No. 3. La Matinee. 1828

Eugène-Louis Lami’s *Caricature. No. 3. La Matinee* (1828) is a hand-colored lithograph depicting a scene of social satire in a Parisian salon. The image portrays a group of women engaged in various activities, including reading, writing, and playing the piano, with exaggerated features and poses. Lami’s use of caricature highlights the foibles and fashionable tendencies of the upper class during the early 19th century. The artist's keen eye for detail and use of humor make this artwork a delightful example of social commentary within the genre of caricature.
