Twee vrouwen spreken elkaar bij een geschilderd portret 1841

"Twee vrouwen spreken elkaar bij een geschilderd portret" is a lithograph by the French artist Paul Gavarni. It depicts two women engaged in a conversation in a domestic setting. One woman reclines in an armchair, her gaze seemingly directed at a portrait hanging on the wall. The other woman sits beside her, seemingly engaged in a dialogue. Gavarni's lithograph is part of the "Fouriberies de Femmes" series, which focused on satirizing the social conventions of 19th-century Parisian society. His work, often humorous and observant, captured the everyday life and manners of the time. The lithograph is executed in a detailed and expressive style, capturing the nuances of the women's expressions and gestures, contributing to a sense of realism and social commentary.
