"It is good that he caoxes and flatters her in front of her husband." from the Little Miseries of Human Life 1843

"It is good that he caoxes and flatters her in front of her husband" from the series *Little Miseries of Human Life* was created by the French artist J.J. Grandville in 1843. The lithograph depicts a scene of domestic satire, where a man in a tall hat and coat gestures towards a framed artwork while a woman sits passively in a chair, while her husband sits in the foreground seemingly oblivious to his wife's discomfort. The work is a classic example of Grandville's satirical style, which often employed exaggerated figures and humorous situations to highlight the absurdities of everyday life. The etching is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
