A print by Paul Gavarni depicts a carrot seller in a Parisian market, capturing a moment of everyday life with subtle social commentary.
This print by Paul Gavarni (1804-1866) depicts a woman selling carrots at a market. Gavarni, a French artist known for his satirical and genre scenes of Parisian life, captures a moment of everyday commerce with a touch of social commentary. The woman, wrapped in a shawl and wearing a bonnet, sits behind a display of carrots, her expression suggesting a mix of weariness and resilience. In the background, other figures and market stalls hint at the bustling atmosphere of the city. The print's title, "Carrots! How many are there, of the Bourgeois and the Crested Birds that live only on them?", adds a layer of wit, possibly alluding to the social classes or types of people who depend on such humble fare. Gavarni's skill in capturing character and social dynamics is evident in the details of the scene, from the woman's clothing to the arrangement of the carrots. The work provides a glimpse into the daily lives of ordinary Parisians during the 19th century, offering both visual interest and a subtle critique of society.

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.
