"Recueil de Grimaces" is a significant series of lithographic works by the French painter and illustrator Louis-Léopold Boilly (1761–1845), created in the early 19th century. This collection, whose title translates to "Collection of Grimaces," is notable for its detailed and humorous portrayal of human expressions and social satire. Boilly, who was renowned for his genre paintings, small portraits, and interest in the physiognomy of his subjects, found in this series a medium to explore and document the range of human emotions and social types present in the bustling urban environment of Paris during his lifetime.

The "Recueil de Grimaces" consists of 96 lithographs, produced between 1823 and 1828, and is divided into several parts. These lithographs showcase Boilly's exceptional skill in capturing the nuances of facial expressions, making each character's emotions palpably vivid to the viewer. The series not only serves as a fascinating visual study of expressions but also offers insightful commentary on the social customs, fashions, and political atmosphere of post-revolutionary France.

Boilly's work on this series coincided with a period of significant development in lithography, a printing process that was relatively new at the time, which allowed for greater detail and a more expressive range in the reproduction of artworks. His adoption of this technique reflects his innovative spirit and his desire to reach a broader audience. "Recueil de Grimaces" was well-received and contributed to Boilly's reputation as a master of capturing the human condition, earning him recognition from the Institut de France and a Legion of Honour in 1833.

Today, "Recueil de Grimaces" is considered an important work in the history of French art and lithography, offering invaluable insights into the cultural and social dynamics of early 19th-century Paris. It remains a testament to Boilly's talent, wit, and keen observation, and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
