Eh bien oui! C'est comme je vous le dis, la petite... (Well yes! it's as I tell you, Mame Chopin's daughter...)
EDITORS COMMENTS
: This black and white lithograph by Honore Daumier, created in 1840, captures a lively conversation between two men in an 19th century French setting. The image, titled "Eh bien oui! C'est comme je vous le dis, la petite...", is part of Daumier's series "Les Parisiens" and was published in the journal "Charivari". In this humorous scene, one man, likely a neighbor, excitedly shares the news of Mame Chopin's daughter's recent marriage to Durand's son. The other man, with a quizzical expression, listens intently as his neighbor reveals that before the young man, the daughter had seen some "odd ones". The men's animated conversation, filled with gossip and humor, is a common theme in Daumier's work and reflects the daily life and social interactions of urban France during this period. Daumier's masterful use of contrast and tone in this lithograph creates a striking visual effect, with the men's faces and bodies rendered in intricate detail against a simpler background. The image invites us to eavesdrop on their conversation and ponder the implications of the neighbor's revelation. A true masterpiece of 19th century art, this work is a testament to Daumier's skill as a satirical cartoonist and his keen observation of human nature. This lithograph, now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a valuable addition to any art or history enthusiast's collection and a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of France.
