A lithograph by Paul Gavarni depicting an elderly woman, likely a 'lorette vieillies', carrying a basket. The image offers a glimpse into Parisian society and the lives of those on the margins.
This lithograph by Paul Gavarni (1804-1866) depicts an elderly woman, presumably a 'lorette vieillies' (an aging woman of questionable reputation), as indicated by the text beneath the image. Gavarni, a French artist known for his satirical and social commentary, frequently portrayed the lives of Parisians, particularly those on the margins of society. His work often appeared in periodicals such as 'Le Charivari'. The image shows the woman carrying a basket, her face etched with the marks of time and experience. The lithographic technique allows for fine lines and subtle gradations of tone, creating a sense of depth and texture. The composition is simple, focusing attention on the figure and her expression. The surrounding text provides context, hinting at the woman's profession and the societal attitudes towards her.

So pleased with my print and the frame it’s housed in. Fantastic quality and really adds character to the room. Communication was great and it was delivered quicker than estimated. Overall I’m extremely pleased and will recommend to friends. I’m already eying up my next purchase!
Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
