Man en vrouw op een klif boven de zee 1839

This lithograph, "Man en vrouw op een klif boven de zee," created by Paul Gavarni in 1839, depicts a humorous scene of a man and a woman on a cliff overlooking the sea. The man stands with his back to the viewer, while the woman turns to face him with a startled expression. The use of exaggerated features and caricatured expressions creates a sense of light-hearted satire, a hallmark of Gavarni's work. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a prime example of Gavarni's keen social commentary, offering a glimpse into the lives and interactions of people during his time.
