“It's really quite flattering to have one's portrait exhibited at the Salon,” plate 7 from *Le Salon de 1857* is a lithograph by Honoré Daumier. The lithograph, which is part of a series satirizing the annual Paris Salon, depicts a man and a woman standing in front of a painting of a man. The woman is looking at the painting with a smile, while the man is looking at the woman. The lithograph was created in 1857 and is now part of The Art Institute of Chicago collection. Daumier's *Le Salon de 1857* is a satirical commentary on contemporary society and art, using humor to expose hypocrisy and vanity.
