Le Dessert 1862

"Le Dessert" (1862) is a lithograph by François Bonvin (1817-1887). The print depicts a young child sitting in a chair and holding a piece of bread, perhaps a slice of bread. The child's somber expression and the simple, rustic setting of the artwork contribute to the piece's overall sense of realism and social commentary, typical of Bonvin's style. This artwork is a fine example of the Realist movement, focusing on everyday life and social commentary.
