Twee mannen discussiëren over de vrijheid 1839

"Twee mannen discussiëren over de vrijheid" (1839) by Paul Gavarni depicts two men in lively conversation. The lithograph, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, captures the essence of 19th-century social commentary through its satirical tone. Gavarni's sharp lines and detailed rendering bring the characters to life, emphasizing their contrasting personalities and perspectives. The image's stark black and white palette enhances the dramatic effect, making it a striking representation of the social and political debates prevalent in Gavarni's time.
