"Ennui" is a notable illustration by George Louis Palmella Busson du Maurier, a Franco-British cartoonist and author best known for his work as a cartoonist for the British satirical magazine Punch and for his novel "Trilby." The illustration "Ennui," which appeared in Punch in the 19th century, captures the essence of the term ennui, a feeling of listlessness and dissatisfaction arising from a lack of occupation or excitement.

The artwork depicts a Victorian gentleman slumped in his chair, seemingly overcome by a profound sense of boredom and weariness. The image is often interpreted as a commentary on the idle upper classes of the period, who, despite their wealth and privilege, were not immune to the existential malaise that can accompany a life of leisure and limited purpose. Du Maurier's illustration is characterized by its fine detail, expressive line work, and the evocative portrayal of the subject's mood, which resonates with the viewer and invites contemplation on the human condition.

"Ennui" is emblematic of du Maurier's keen observational skills and his ability to distill complex social and emotional states into a single, powerful image. His work remains significant as a historical record of Victorian society and as an example of the artistic and literary preoccupations of the era. The illustration continues to be referenced in discussions of boredom and malaise in cultural and philosophical contexts, demonstrating its enduring relevance and impact.
