Oui, ma chère, mon mari a ravalé ma dignité... is a 1849 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a woman sitting at a table, looking upset. She's talking to someone, but we can't see who it is. The woman's face shows she's very unhappy, and her words are written above her. This lithograph is interesting because it tells a story. The words above the woman are a quote, and they give us a clue about what's happening. To learn more about this kind of art, look up the technique: lithography.
