Man en vrouw bij avond op straat c. 1892 - 1930

"Man en vrouw bij avond op straat" is a lithograph by Henri-Gabriel Ibels, depicting a man and woman walking down a Parisian street at night. Ibels, a French artist known for his depictions of modern life, utilizes a subtle palette of grays to evoke the ambiance of a dimly lit city street. The couple, shrouded in shadow, appears lost in their own world, highlighting the anonymity and fleeting encounters of urban life, a theme Ibels often explored in his work. The piece was created sometime between 1892 and 1930, a period marked by rapid industrialization and societal shifts, making it a powerful snapshot of modern French society.
