Jongeman onderhandelt met een woekeraar 1841

"Jongeman onderhandelt met een woekeraar" (Young Man Negotiating with a Usurer) is a lithograph by Paul Gavarni, created in 1841. This work is a part of a series called "La Vie de Jeune Homme" (The Life of a Young Man), which focused on social satire and commentary on the lives of young men in 19th-century France. The lithograph portrays a young man in a tense dialogue with a usurer, highlighting social class disparities and the exploitation faced by the less fortunate. The sharp, detailed lines of Gavarni's style capture the expressions and anxieties of both characters.
