"Frétillon" is an 1836 lithograph by the French artist Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard Grandville. It depicts a woman leaning out of a window, looking wistfully out at the viewer. Grandville was a renowned caricaturist and illustrator, known for his satirical works, and "Frétillon" is a prime example of his ability to convey emotion through simple means. The artwork can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Grandville, active from 1803 to 1847, experimented with lithography to create a unique style that combined realism with a touch of whimsicality, creating a lasting legacy on the art of illustration.
