This lithograph, created by Honoré Daumier in 1834, is a satirical caricature of a woman named Miss Etienne-Mona-Lisa-Cunégonde-Silly Goose of the Constitutionnel. It depicts her with an exaggerated head, a large wreath, and a shocked expression, likely reacting to a play by the author Alexandre Dumas. Daumier's work is known for its sharp social commentary, and this print is a testament to his skill in capturing the absurdity of the French aristocracy during the 19th century. The image is part of a series of prints that depict various societal events and individuals, often with humorous and critical intent.
