Description
A lithograph by Paul Gavarni, titled 'I hear a carriage. It's M. Chose [Thing] who comes to see his treasure. You mean his treasure-keeper, my dear., p. 107', captures a scene of two women in an interior, reflecting the social dynamics of 19th-century Paris.
This lithograph by Paul Gavarni (1804-1866), a French artist known for his satirical and genre scenes of Parisian life, depicts a scene titled 'I hear a carriage. It's M. Chose [Thing] who comes to see his treasure. You mean his treasure-keeper, my dear., p. 107'. Gavarni's work often captured the nuances of social interactions and the complexities of human relationships in 19th-century France. He was a keen observer of contemporary society, and his illustrations provide insight into the fashions, manners, and social dynamics of his time. The image shows two women in an interior setting. One woman stands, while the other reclines on a chaise lounge. The standing woman appears to be attending to the reclining one. The lithographic technique allows for fine lines and tonal variations, creating a sense of depth and texture. The composition is simple, yet the expressions and gestures of the figures convey a sense of narrative. The print is part of a series or publication, as indicated by the page number in the title.

Artist Biography
Paul Gavarni
His real name was Sulpice Guillaume Chevalier. He adopted "Gavarni" from the town of Gavarnie in the Pyrenees after a journey there. He was born in Paris in 1804, worked as a machinist in a factory, and taught himself to draw in evening classes. By the 1830s he was the leading illustrator of Parisian social life: fashionable women, carnival scenes, lorettes and debardeurs, all rendered with a wit and polish that Balzac praised publicly and that helped establish Gavarni's reputation.
After the deaths of his mother and the collapse of his marriage around 1845, his style shifted. He spent time in London documenting the lives of the poor, producing work that was bleaker and more compassionate than his Paris satire. His catalogue raisonne lists approximately eight thousand works. He is often compared with his contemporary Daumier, though Gavarni's satire was more polished and less political. He died in Paris in 1866.
