The paralyzed Bonapartist Girondist Noirtier de Villefort in 1838 1846

The lithograph, "The Paralyzed Bonapartist Girondist Noirtier de Villefort in 1838," was created by the French artist Paul Gavarni in 1846. The drawing depicts a man seated in a chair, his head bowed in contemplation. His clothing suggests a man of some social standing, and his posture conveys a sense of weariness or resignation. The work is a powerful example of Gavarni's ability to capture the human condition with subtle detail and psychological acuity. This artwork is characteristic of Gavarni's work from this period, known for its focus on the social and political issues of his time.
