"Gulliver Awed by Three Giant Beggars in the Land of Brobdingnag" (1862) by Paul Gavarni depicts a scene from Jonathan Swift's *Gulliver's Travels*. The illustration features a small figure of Lemuel Gulliver gazing out of a window at three towering beggars from the land of Brobdingnag. This comical scene captures the awe and fear felt by Gulliver when confronted with the sheer size of the giants, a central theme in Swift's satirical novel. Gavarni's use of watercolor and his detailed, almost caricatural style bring this fantastical encounter to life.
