This sketch shows two people in a cozy room. One person is leaning back on a couch, looking up with a slight smile. The other sits forward, hands on their knees, staring at a small book or paper they hold. Both are dressed in loose, old-fashioned clothes, and the room has simple furniture and a window in the background. The artist focused on small details, like the folds in the fabric and the way light hits the faces. This kind of close-up drawing was popular in the 1800s. Check out lithography to see how artists like Gavarni made prints like this one.
Paul Gavarni was the pen name of Sulpice Guillaume Chevalier (13 January 1804 – 24 November 1866), a French illustrator, born in Paris.
