Lithograph on paper, France, mid-19th century. A finely executed satirical lithograph from the celebrated French series Macédoine, presenting a humorous social vignette rendered with expressive draughtsmanship and subtle tonal shading. The composition depicts a stout, assertive young woman turning away from a dandyish suitor, her posture and gesture emphatically rejecting his advances, while he responds with exaggerated, comic gallantry. The interplay of facial expressions and body language exemplifies the sharp observational wit characteristic of Parisian caricature in the July Monarchy period. Executed with confident line work and delicate gradations of lithographic shading, the print reflects the influence of contemporary caricaturists working in the circle of Charles Philipon and Honoré Daumier. The title and caption, printed beneath the image, reinforce the humorous narrative and social satire aimed at courtship, gender roles, and bourgeois manners. Published in Paris and numbered as part of the Macédoine series, this sheet retains generous margins and clear impressions of the printed text. Condition: Generally good, with light, even age-toning and minor scattered foxing consistent with age; no significant tears or losses observed. A lively and engaging example of 19th-century French satirical printmaking, appealing to collectors of caricature, social history, and early lithography.
