"Twee vrouwen wandelen, gevolgd door hun minnaars" is an 1843 lithograph by French artist Paul Gavarni (1804-1866). It depicts a scene of social commentary and satire, common in Gavarni's work. The print shows two women walking in a park, followed by their suitors. One of the women is dressed in a fashionable gown and carries a parasol. The other woman is in a more simple dress, but she also wears a fashionable hat. Their suitors are both dressed in the height of fashion. The lithograph is part of the series "Les Lorettes" (The Ladies of the Town), known for depicting Parisian life and the often complicated affairs of society. It's currently housed in the Rijksmuseum and provides a glimpse into 19th century Parisian fashion and social dynamics.
