Oui, chère amie, jaloux tant que tu voudras!... is a 1839 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows a woman in bed while a man in a military uniform stands beside her. His uniform is crisp, hers is rumpled. The room is dark except for a single window letting in soft light. Daumier often used this technique to highlight social tensions. The man’s posture suggests pride, but his face is turned away—hiding what he really feels. Look up lithography next.
