“My sister was saying yesterday, she thinks you are just too ugly!,” plate 37 from Croquis D 'expressions Possibly 1838

"My sister was saying yesterday, she thinks you are just too ugly!," plate 37 from *Croquis D'expressions* (1838) by Honoré Daumier depicts a man seated with a young boy on his lap, while a woman sits beside them, all in a public setting. The man is caricatured with exaggerated features and a facial expression suggesting embarrassment, emphasizing the humor inherent in Daumier's social commentary. The work's title, written in French, highlights the theme of social awkwardness and personal perception, common in Daumier's lithographs. This lithograph, now part of the Art Institute of Chicago collection, exemplifies Daumier's keen observation of everyday life and the social dynamics of 19th-century France.
