Parijzenaar in achttiende-eeuwse kleding 1857

"Parijzenaar in achttiende-eeuwse kleding" (1857) by Paul Gavarni is a lithograph depicting a Parisian man in 18th-century clothing. The detailed drawing captures the intricate details of the gentleman's attire, from his powdered wig and ruffled cravat to his knee-length breeches and buckled shoes. The subject's posture and confident expression suggest an air of sophistication and elegance, typical of Gavarni's portrayal of 19th-century Parisian life. This work is a fine example of the artist's use of lithography to capture the social nuances and fashion trends of his time. The drawing is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
