''Phrosine and Melidore or The Kiss'' is a lithograph created by the French artist Honoré Daumier, which was produced around 1842. This work is part of Daumier's extensive oeuvre that includes paintings, sculptures, and over 4,000 lithographs. Daumier is widely recognized for his social and political commentary through his art, often satirizing the bourgeoisie, the legal profession, and the politics of his time.

The lithograph ''Phrosine and Melidore or The Kiss'' depicts a passionate embrace between two lovers, Phrosine and Melidore, characters borrowed from a popular romantic drama of the time. The artwork is characterized by its dramatic expression of emotion and the use of strong, fluid lines that convey the intensity of the lovers' kiss. This piece is a departure from Daumier's more typical satirical works, showcasing his ability to capture human emotion and the romanticism that was prevalent in the art and literature of his era.

Daumier's lithograph is not only a representation of romantic passion but also serves as a commentary on the societal norms and expectations of the 19th century. The exaggerated features and the caricature-like representation of the figures reflect Daumier's signature style, which often aimed to critique the absurdities of society.

''Phrosine and Melidore or The Kiss'' is a testament to Daumier's versatility as an artist and his skill in lithography. The work is held in various art collections and has been the subject of scholarly analysis, particularly in the context of the history of French lithography and the Romantic movement. As with many of Daumier's lithographs, this piece continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and its insightful portrayal of human relationships and societal norms.
