Tu m'embetes, mon épouse!...v'là une heure... (You're so annoying, wife!...it's an hour that you've been telling me it's snowing; I can see it damn well!...and to think that I have an umbrella...at home!) is a poignant and humorous lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, created in 1843. This artwork, titled "Types Parisiens" (Parisian Types), is part of the extensive collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The image portrays a grumpy man, bundled up against the cold weather, expressing his frustration towards his wife. She stands in the background, her back turned to the viewer, as she continues to insist that it's snowing. The man, clearly annoyed, exclaims that he can see the snow and that he has an umbrella at home, implying that she has been unnecessarily troubling him with her repetitive warnings. Daumier masterfully captures the essence of everyday life, using satire and parody to highlight the nuances of human emotion and interaction. The man's irritated expression, combined with the contrasting elements of the wintry scene and the warm interior of their home, adds depth and complexity to the image. This black and white lithograph, with its rich history and timeless appeal, is a testament to Daumier's artistic talent and his ability to capture the universal experience of annoyance and frustration within the context of 19th-century French life. The intricacies of the couple's apparel, from the man's hat and bonnet to the woman's dress and shawl, further enhance the visual appeal and historical significance of this work of art.
