"Shooting Stars" is a lithograph by the French artist J.J. Grandville, created in 1836. This image, from a series illustrating the complete works of Pierre-Jean de Béranger, depicts a man and boy seated outdoors with a dog, watching shooting stars streak across the night sky. Grandville's illustrations are known for their whimsical and often satirical style, often incorporating fantastical elements and exaggerated human features. This print showcases his skill in capturing the wonder and beauty of the natural world. The artwork is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
