Inglorious Artists
  1. A man dressed in a bourgeois outfit examines a folio with a loupe indoors. The setting includes various antiques such as Greco-Roman and Egyptian statues, including a satyr and figures perceived as embodying obscenity. The artwork, marked "Vues 1840," also depicts an armor statue. Statues and other items are arranged around the room, evoking a July Monarchy-era atmosphere.
