About this work

Cane in his hands. According to the text in the magazine, it is a caricature of the prevailing fashion, especially worn by the young, which provokes the laughter of others. At the bottom, two samples of satin for waistcoats: 'Echantillons de Satins pour gilets'. Print from the magazine Le Mois: Journal historique, littéraire et critique avec figures, Year 7 and 8 (1798-1800).
