"Par-ci, par-là: Phèdre au Théâtre-Francais..." (Here and There: Phèdre at the Théâtre-Français...), a lithograph by French artist Paul Gavarni, depicts a couple seated in a theater box during a performance of the play Phèdre. The artwork, created in 1857-1858, captures the social scene of a 19th-century Parisian theater, featuring the detailed clothing and postures of the era. The use of lithography, a printmaking technique popular in the 19th century, allows for intricate details and a sense of realism. This work is held in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
