Armchair Bourgeois Dressing Gown Illness Nightcap Parisians Patient Physiognomy Physionomy Sick Tongue
EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Series Les beaux jours de la vie, A happy find, plate 23" captures a humorous and satirical scene from the 19th century. Created by Honore Daumier in 1844, this black and white lithograph showcases the artist's talent for caricature and satire. In the illustration, we see a male doctor seated in an armchair while examining his patient. The patient appears to be sick, wearing a nightcap and sitting with a tongue out. The doctor's expression suggests surprise as he exclaims, "how marvellous, you have yellow fever! This is the first time in my life that I am being given a chance to treat this disease". The dialogue adds an element of wit to the artwork. Daumier's attention to detail is evident in the physionomy of both characters. The doctor is dressed in a dressing gown and bonnet, typical attire for Parisian bourgeois at that time. This piece reflects on societal norms and attitudes towards illness during that era. This image measures 22x22 cm and can be found at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. It offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into historical medical practices while showcasing Daumier's artistic prowess.
