"Toilette du Soir" is a lithograph by French artist Paul Gavarni from 1831. The artwork, which depicts three fashionable men in elaborate evening attire, is a classic example of Gavarni's satirical approach to social commentary. Through his depiction of clothing and body language, Gavarni skillfully captures the superficiality and vanity of the upper class in 19th-century Paris. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Gavarni's keen observation of his surroundings and his talent for capturing the spirit of his time.
