Tu as bien tort, va, Coquardeau, de toujours porter ce nez-là! tu sais pourtant - comme ça déplait à Madame

Gavarni, Paul, 1804-1866 · February 23, 1843

At the opera ball, Coquardeau in black suit, white tie and waist coat, walking toward the right, both hands in his pockets, is followed by a man, disguised as a Charlatan, wearing a huge false nose and glasses, and who speaks in his ear. At bottom, within the print, perpendicular to the print edge at left, one reads clearly: "papa," by the hand of a small child, the eldest son of Gavarni.
