Heures Du Soir. Mme. Gide c. 1830

Achille Devéria's lithograph *Heures Du Soir. Mme. Gide* from c. 1830 depicts a woman, likely Mme. Gide, playing the piano in a domestic setting. The work is characterized by a detailed and realistic style, conveying the elegance of the sitter and the interior environment. Devéria, a French artist known for his portraiture and lithographic works, captured the refined atmosphere of 19th-century Parisian society through this piece. The delicate brushstrokes, vibrant colors, and precise rendering of the scene highlight the artist's technical skill and his ability to capture the essence of a moment.
