Bernard Gaillot's 1838 lithograph, *The Café-Feeper, from Arts et Métiers*, depicts a figure wearing a large, wide-brimmed hat and a stylized, almost skeletal, garment. The work, housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, is a striking example of the *Arts et Métiers* series, known for its playful and often satirical depictions of everyday life in 19th-century France. The intricate details and subtle humor make it a fascinating piece of visual commentary on social customs and fashion trends of the period.
