Le Locati 1858

"Le Locati" is a lithograph on paper created in 1858 by French artist Paul Gavarni. The work depicts a man in a top hat riding a horse through a wooded area. Gavarni, a master of social commentary, is known for his satirical depictions of Parisian life in the 19th century, often focusing on fashion, social class, and the foibles of society. This print is a fine example of his ability to capture the essence of his time in a humorous and perceptive way.
