Line in front of the Butcher Shop 1870 - 1871

"Line in front of the Butcher Shop" is an etching by the renowned French artist Edouard Manet, created between 1870 and 1871. The print depicts a scene of Parisian life, showcasing a group of figures standing in line, likely outside a butcher shop. Manet's signature use of simplified lines and bold contrasts is evident, creating a dynamic and expressive composition. The artwork is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it remains a testament to Manet's innovative approach to capturing the essence of modern urban life through printmaking.
