Twee mannen bij een balustrade op een terras 1843

"Twee mannen bij een balustrade op een terras" (Two men by a balustrade on a terrace) is a lithograph created by Paul Gavarni in 1843. This satirical work is typical of Gavarni's style, capturing a humorous moment between two men on a Parisian terrace. The print's title, "L'Éloquence de la Chair" (The Eloquence of the Flesh) hints at the suggestive nature of their conversation, which is captured in a dialogue printed at the bottom of the artwork. The composition, featuring two figures in a casual setting, highlights Gavarni's skill in capturing the everyday details of Parisian life. This lithographic print offers a glimpse into 19th-century French social commentary and humor.
