Pupil and slave of the Count of Monte Cristo, Albanian Greek (Orthodox) Gaide in 1838 1846

"Pupil and slave of the Count of Monte Cristo, Albanian Greek (Orthodox) Gaide in 1838" is a lithograph by French artist Paul Gavarni, created in 1846. The artwork portrays a young woman, likely a character from the novel "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas. Gavarni was known for his social commentary and often captured the fashion and social trends of his time through his lithographic illustrations. The artwork's depiction of the woman in traditional attire and the inclusion of the title referencing the novel suggest that Gavarni may have been commenting on the cultural diversity and social dynamics of the time, perhaps highlighting the power dynamics within the novel. The subtle details in the woman's clothing and the presence of a traditional lamp in the background further contribute to the artwork's historical and social context.
