Descrizione
A detailed lithograph by Paul Gavarni depicting a Parisian lemon seller, captured with the artist's characteristic observational wit and technical precision.
This lithograph by Paul Gavarni, titled La Marchande de Citrons, originates from the series Physionomies Parisiennes. Gavarni, a prolific French illustrator and caricaturist, captured the social fabric of mid-nineteenth-century Paris with keen observation. The work depicts a street vendor, her posture suggesting the fatigue of her daily labour as she carries a shallow basket of lemons.
Technically, the print demonstrates Gavarni's mastery of the lithographic medium. He employs varied mark-making to define the textures of the woman's clothing, the rough surface of the stone wall behind her, and the organic forms of the fruit. The composition is balanced, placing the figure in profile against a simple background, which directs the viewer's attention to her expression and the humble nature of her trade.
Unlike the biting satire found in some of his other works, this piece leans into a sympathetic observation of urban life. The text below the image, La limonade n'est pas ce qu'elle aime, adds a layer of dry wit characteristic of the period's popular press. As a document of Parisian history, the print offers a glimpse into the lives of the working class, far removed from the grand narratives of contemporary academic painting. The print was produced by the Lemercier firm in Paris, a house known for its high-quality lithographic output during the era. This edition serves as a fine example of the intersection between commercial illustration and artistic practice in the nineteenth century.

Artist Biography
Paul Gavarni
Gavarni was imprisoned for debt in 1835 after his magazine, the Journal of High Society, failed after eighteen issues. He served nearly a year. The experience did not prevent him from becoming the most stylish caricaturist in Paris, but it may explain the darkness that crept into his later work.
His real name was Sulpice Guillaume Chevalier. He adopted "Gavarni" from the town of Gavarnie in the Pyrenees after a journey there. He was born in Paris in 1804, worked as a machinist in a factory, and taught himself to draw in evening classes. By the 1830s he was the leading illustrator of Parisian social life: fashionable women, carnival scenes, lorettes and debardeurs, all rendered with a wit and polish that Balzac praised publicly and that helped establish Gavarni's reputation.
After the deaths of his mother and the collapse of his marriage around 1845, his style shifted. He spent time in London documenting the lives of the poor, producing work that was bleaker and more compassionate than his Paris satire. His catalogue raisonne lists approximately eight thousand works. He is often compared with his contemporary Daumier, though Gavarni's satire was more polished and less political. He died in Paris in 1866.
