Produced in 1824, the work belongs to a series of prints that explore the everyday experiences of children, often focusing on their emotional reactions to discipline or social interaction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition centres on three boys. The central figure, wearing a paper hat fashioned to resemble donkey ears, wipes tears from his eyes, clearly distressed by his situation. Behind him, a companion looks on with a mischievous grin, while a third boy in the foreground points towards the crying child, his expression one of mockery. Boilly uses a delicate hand-coloured lithographic technique to define the textures of their clothing and the subtle variations in their facial expressions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoilly moved away from the grand historical subjects popular in the late eighteenth century to focus on the domestic sphere and the nuances of human behaviour. His ability to render the specificities of a child's grimace or the tilt of a head provides a clear window into the social attitudes of the period. The print was published by Delpech, a firm known for its high-quality lithographic output in Paris during the 1820s. By isolating the figures against a plain background, Boilly ensures the viewer focuses entirely on the narrative interaction between the three subjects. This piece remains a fine example of the artist's technical skill and his interest in the psychological realism of his contemporaries, capturing a fleeting moment of schoolroom or domestic conflict with clarity and humour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/neo-classical-vases-in-a-landscape-jean-charles-delafosse\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eNeo-classical Vases in a Landscape - Jean Charles Delafosse — Jean Charles Delafosse\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/pax-artium-nutrix-francesco-bartolozzi\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePax Artium Nutrix - Francesco Bartolozzi — Francesco Bartolozzi\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Louis Léopold Boilly","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58792673313103,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58792682324303,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58792682357071,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58792682389839,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58792682422607,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58792682455375,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58792682488143,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58792682520911,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58792682553679,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58792682586447,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58792682619215,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58792682651983,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/La-Punition_Poster_CompositorV1_1789512883435.jpg?v=1789513694","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/products\/la-punition-louis-leopold-boilly","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
