Costume Écossais 1834

"Costume Écossais" (1834), a lithograph by Paul Gavarni, depicts a woman dressed in a Scottish-inspired costume. The figure is standing in an interior setting, leaning against a piece of furniture. The detail in the figure's dress and the background suggest Gavarni's keen observation of Parisian fashion and society during the 19th century. The artwork, now in the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to Gavarni's mastery of the lithograph medium and his enduring contribution to the world of caricature and social commentary.
