"Grenouille Habillée Fumant le Cigare" (English: "Dressed Frog Smoking a Cigar") is an illustration by French artist J. J. Grandville, a pseudonym for Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard (1803–1847). Grandville was renowned for his imaginative and satirical engravings, which often featured anthropomorphic animals and fantastical elements. This particular work is emblematic of his style, which blends social commentary with whimsical and surreal imagery.

The illustration is part of Grandville's extensive body of work that includes contributions to periodicals and illustrations for books, such as "Les Métamorphoses du jour" (1829), a series of seventy scenes in which individuals with the bodies of men and faces of animals are satirically depicted in various human situations. "Grenouille Habillée Fumant le Cigare" is reflective of Grandville's fascination with the animal kingdom and his penchant for dressing animals in contemporary clothing to mock and critique human behaviors and societal norms.

Grandville's work prefigured the later developments in satirical illustration and had a significant influence on the Symbolist movement and artists such as the Surrealists. His illustrations continue to be appreciated for their wit, artistic skill, and the insight they provide into 19th-century French society. "Grenouille Habillée Fumant le Cigare" remains a notable example of Grandville's unique ability to infuse the ordinary with the extraordinary, creating a piece that is both a work of art and a piece of social commentary.
