A Fall Down the Stairs 1834 - 1835

"A Fall Down the Stairs" is a lithograph created by Alexandre-Gabriel Decamps in 1834-1835. The artwork depicts a man lying on the floor at the bottom of a staircase, his face in his hands, as a woman in a nightgown holding a candle looks down from the top of the stairs. The lithograph's dramatic composition and use of light and shadow create a sense of suspense and mystery, making it a compelling work of art. The piece is a classic example of the Romantic era in art, with its focus on emotion and the sublime. This lithograph can be found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
