Charivari. IN A GARDEN AT AUTEUIL. Doctor Véron is turning more and more into a misanthropist, because of his political worries, hiding almost entirely behind his huge necktie and hoping to escape from the troubles of the world.
Description:
The print refer's Louis Désiré Véron's decision (1798-1867) to retire to his country estate in Auteuil, a suburb of Paris.
