{"product_id":"enfant-de-paris-paul-gavarni","title":"Enfant de Paris - Paul Gavarni","description":"\u003cp\u003eA classic lithograph by Paul Gavarni from his Physionomies Parisiennes series, capturing the character of a young Parisian street dweller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaul Gavarni, born Sulpice Guillaume Chevalier, was a master of the lithographic medium during the mid-nineteenth century. This print belongs to his series titled Physionomies Parisiennes, a collection that documented the diverse characters inhabiting the streets of Paris. The subject, an 'Enfant de Paris', is depicted with a characteristic blend of streetwise confidence and youthful weariness. Gavarni captures the figure in a standing pose, hands on hips, wearing a simple waistcoat and apron that suggest a working-class background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe draughtsmanship demonstrates Gavarni's ability to convey personality through posture and facial expression. His lines are economical, yet they define the form and texture of the clothing with precision. The background remains minimal, allowing the viewer to focus entirely on the subject. The text below the image, 'Pas méchant, mais vif', translates to 'Not mean, but lively', providing a brief insight into the social commentary Gavarni often employed in his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the biting political satire of his contemporary Honoré Daumier, Gavarni focused on the nuances of social types and urban life. His work provides a visual record of the Parisian populace, ranging from the bourgeoisie to the street urchins. This lithograph is a fine example of his technical skill, showing the subtle tonal variations achievable through the lithographic process. The print reflects the artist's keen observation of human behaviour and his role as a chronicler of the social fabric of his time. It is an authentic piece of nineteenth-century French graphic art, suitable for those interested in historical social studies or the history of printmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/le-pere-riboule-denis-auguste-marie-raffet\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLe Père Riboule by Denis-Auguste-Marie Raffet\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/buses-gustave-dore\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eBuses by Gustave Doré\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/collections\/paul-gavarni\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePaul Gavarni artwork →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Paul Gavarni","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59503119892815,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59503119925583,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59503119958351,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59503119991119,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59503120023887,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59503120056655,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59503120089423,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59503120122191,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59503120154959,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59503120187727,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59503120220495,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59503120253263,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Enfant-de-Paris_Poster_CompositorV1_1794622906867.jpg?v=1794622941","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/nl\/products\/enfant-de-paris-paul-gavarni","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
