So, show-off from Paris!.... you will dance twice with my Catherine.... try again now to make eyes at her!, from Pastorales (Romance of Country Life)
This print is part of a series in which Daumier satirized the romanticization of life in the country. Here, in the midst of an outdoor dance, a protective father at left confronts a Parisian interloper at center, pulling his hat down over his head to prevent the city-dweller from making eyes at his daughter.
