La Pensée Immunable is a 1823 ink by Aubert, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a small plant growing out of a pile of coins. The plant has a single flower with a face, and two birds perched on its branches. Below the plant is a sack labeled *La Pensée Immortuelle* with French text around it. The face in the flower looks like a person, and the coins suggest money or wealth. The artist used a simple, bold style to make the joke clear. Want to know more? Try looking up lithography.
