"Little Prince Dito" is an etching by Charles Meryon, a prominent French artist who was known for his Romantic interpretations of Paris. The image is a small detail depicting a man on horseback, likely a prince, surrounded by text. The simple black-and-white composition highlights the artist's use of light and shadow to create a sense of atmosphere, echoing the Romantic style of his time. This print, created in 1864, is now part of the The Art Institute of Chicago's collection.
