Depuis que Zémire sait qu'elle va me couter quinze francs...
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Since Zemire knows she's going to pay me fifteen francs) is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in the 19th century. This monochromatic masterpiece, filled with humor and satire, depicts an old woman, Zémire, sitting on a bench with a dog at her feet. She looks intently at a man, who is also seated on the bench, holding a letter in his hand. The man, seemingly unaware of Zémire's gaze, looks off into the distance. The title of the work alludes to the idea that Zémire is aware of the cost of the man's company, perhaps implying a sense of disappointment or frustration. The use of caricature and parody in Daumier's work is evident in the exaggerated features of the figures, adding an extra layer of depth to the scene. This lithograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of France and the artistic innovation of the 19th century. The use of grey tones in the print adds to the overall mood of the piece, creating a sense of nostalgia and introspection. The work is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, particularly in the realm of caricature and satire. This print is now a part of the permanent collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and intrigue visitors from around the world. The scene of two people looking at each other, with the added element of the cost of companionship, is a universal concept that resonates with people from all walks of life, making it a timeless work of art.
