EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century print, titled "Pas coquette" (Coquettish Step), is a masterpiece by the renowned French artist Paul Gavarni (1804-1866). Created during the 1850s, this artwork is a prime example of the Realist artistic movement that emerged in France during the 19th century. The subject of the portrait is Chevalier Sulpice Guillaume, a man of the working class, depicted in a full-length profile view. Gavarni expertly captures the essence of the man's character through his skillful use of red and black crayon on paper. The Chevalier stands confidently with his hands on his hips, his stomach protruding slightly, and a slight smirk playing on his lips. His posture and expression suggest a man who is comfortable in his own skin and unafraid to flaunt his unattractiveness. The setting of the portrait is simple, with no extravagant background or accessories to distract from the subject. The use of color is minimal, with the red crayon adding a touch of warmth to the otherwise monochromatic drawing. The overall effect is one of raw, unfiltered realism, capturing the essence of the working class man in 19th century France. This print is a testament to Gavarni's ability to capture the human condition with honesty and sensitivity, making it a valuable addition to any collection of 19th century art. The Walters Art Museum is proud to preserve and display this important work, allowing future generations to appreciate the artistic heritage of France.
