Abstract:
A man at an auction is buying a portrait because his wife wants one of him. His friend tells him that the portrait he is buying isn't of him. He replies that he knows this yet it will be easier to have the face redone than to commission an entirely new portrait.
LA SALLE DES VENTES, DANS LA SALLE DES VENTES (At the sales exhibition) consists of two prints which appeared in the Charivari on March 16 and April 4, 1859.
