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)

1845

Not on view

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.
