"Untitled (half drunk)" is a graphite drawing by Paul Gavarni, a prominent French caricaturist and illustrator of the 19th century. The sketch depicts a woman in profile, rendered with a loose and expressive style, characteristic of Gavarni's work. The figure, partially obscured by her dress, is captured with a sense of intimacy, highlighting the artist's ability to evoke emotion through simple lines. While the subject's pose and attire suggest a sense of informality, the title "half drunk" alludes to a more complex narrative, hinting at a moment of vulnerability and perhaps even intoxication. This drawing, like many of Gavarni's works, offers a glimpse into the everyday lives of ordinary people, reflecting the social and cultural realities of his time.
