More about this artwork

"A Foolish Request" (1899) by Udo Keppler offers a satirical glance at social dynamics of the time, with a clear focus on the peculiarities of marriage and divorce among the affluent. Portrayed in vibrant color, the painting captures an elegantly dressed woman standing beside a monumental 'Society's Divorce Record'. As she nonchalantly paints a new entry on the stone, registering what seems to be her own marriage and divorce, she embodies the reckless, transient relationships of high society.To her right, an elderly man, possibly a butler or solicitor, observes her actions with a mix of dismay and resignation. His expression and posture suggest a begrudging acceptance of what he perceives as frivolous or misguided behavior. The entries on the marble slab—words like "Divorced... Yesterday" and "Married... To-day" across the same names—underline a carousel of romantic engagements treated with the same attendance as one might show to dinner invitations.This clever illustration not only captures a moment of humor but also delivers a biting commentary on how marriage was perceived and misused as a social tool rather than a personal commitment.
