The Maid 1858 - 1868

Henri-Charles-Antoine Baron's "The Maid" (1858-1868) is a black and white lithograph that depicts a woman in a flowing gown, standing beside a woman kneeling before her. The print is part of a larger collection of Baron's works and offers a glimpse into the artist's style and subject matter. The contrast between the two figures, one standing and one kneeling, emphasizes the power dynamics within the scene. The composition is a testament to Baron's skill, with the lines and shadows creating a sense of depth and volume, making this artwork a fascinating example of the artist's mastery of light and shadow.
