Oh! la... tant mieux... ça prouve qu'elle vient! 1847

"Oh! la... tant mieux... ça prouve qu'elle vient!" is a lithograph by French artist Honoré Daumier, created in 1847. The artwork depicts a scene of a man grimacing in pain as a woman, presumably a dentist, pulls a tooth. Daumier was known for his satirical cartoons, often critiquing the French bourgeois, and this piece is no exception. The humor in the image comes from the exaggerated expressions of both the patient and the dentist, as well as the absurdity of the situation. This work exemplifies Daumier's talent for capturing the essence of social commentary through his signature style of caricature.
