Un Monsieur qu'on rajeunit trop is a 1845 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a man sitting in front of a mirror. He's wearing a white shirt and has his back to us. A woman stands behind him, holding a pair of scissors and looking at his reflection. The woman seems to be cutting the man's hair, but she's also making him look younger. The mirror shows the man's face, and he looks happy.

Honoré-Victorin Daumier was a French painter, sculptor, and printmaker, whose many works offer commentary on the social and political life in France, from the Revolution of 1830 to the fall of the Second French Empire in 1870.
