Mon cher faites-moi le plaisir de me prêter 15 fr.s
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Dear friend, would you please lend me 15 francs), a captivating lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, showcases a humorous exchange between two men in 19th century France. In this intriguing vignette from Daumier's "Croquis d'expression," plate 14, the first man, dressed in a top hat and formal attire, extends an open hand to his companion, requesting a loan of 15 francs. His friend, also clad in a top hat and fashionable clothing, responds with a smile, revealing that he only has ten francs to offer. The first man, taken aback, exclaims, "Damn!...never mind, you can still give it to me and owe me five." This satirical and witty print, created by Daumier in 1838, highlights the concept of borrowing and the social dynamics of lending and owing money during the 19th century. The black and white image, with its intricate details and expressive characters, offers a glimpse into the everyday lives of the French populace and their interactions. The print's timeless humor and insightful commentary on human nature continue to resonate with viewers, making it an essential addition to any art collection or exhibition focused on 19th-century art, finance, or satire. This work by Honore Daumier, a master of French art, is a testament to the power of visual storytelling and the enduring appeal of satire. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is proud to house this remarkable piece in its extensive collection, allowing contemporary audiences to appreciate the rich heritage and artistic legacy of Honore Daumier.
