Karikatuur van vier mannen die zich scheren 1825

This 1825 lithograph by Louis Léopold Boilly depicts a comical scene of four men shaving, each with a different expression and approach. Boilly, known for his portraits and genre scenes, captures the everyday humor of the situation. The men's exaggerated expressions and the careful detail of the shaving tools highlight the artist's keen eye for observation and his talent for satire. The piece, small in size but big in personality, is a playful commentary on the mundane act of grooming, a perfect example of Boilly's mastery of capturing the essence of everyday life in his art.
