Catalan Fernand Mondego in Marseille in 1815 1846

This lithograph, created by Paul Gavarni in 1846, depicts a Catalan man standing in Marseille, France. The figure, dressed in traditional Catalan clothing, stands against a stark background, his posture suggesting a sense of isolation and contemplation. Gavarni, known for his social satire and depictions of Parisian life, captured the individuality of this Catalan immigrant in a poignant moment of reflection. This artwork, like much of Gavarni's work, offers insights into the social and cultural landscape of 19th-century France, highlighting the diversity of its population.
