Figuren in een herberg in de buurt van Lyon c. 1863

"Figurine in an Inn Near Lyon" (c. 1863) is a black and white etching by French artist Antoine Vollon, depicting a scene in a dimly lit inn. The composition features a group of figures gathered around a table, engaging in a conversation, possibly a game or a meal. The chiaroscuro technique, with its strong contrasts of light and shadow, adds depth and atmosphere to the scene, highlighting the figures and creating a sense of intimacy. The artwork exemplifies Vollon's interest in depicting everyday life and the subtle nuances of human interaction, a characteristic prevalent in his realist style.
