This image is an illustration by the renowned French caricaturist Honoré Daumier. It depicts a tall, thin man standing in front of a mirror, preening himself with a rather exaggeratedly proud and self-satisfied expression. He is adjusting his collar or cravat, gazing intently at his reflection. The man is dressed in a black top hat and formal evening attire, which includes a tailcoat and trousers. He is holding a cane under one arm, which further enhances his prim and proper appearance. The background features a partially visible painting or mirror, adding to the setting of a luxurious room or perhaps a dressing room. Above the image, the word "coquetterie" is written, which means "coquetry" in English, highlighting the man's vanity and concern with his appearance. Below the image, there's a caption in French: "C'est fichu: on sait se crevatter," which translates to "It's done: one knows how to tie a cravat." This further underscores the humorous aspect of the man's vanity and self-involvement in his appearance. The entire presentation is exaggerated for comedic or satirical effect, typical of Daumier's style, making a social commentary on vanity and superficiality.
