Peasant Girl Smoking
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating 19th century artwork created by the renowned French artist, Paul Gavarni, in 1849. This masterpiece, which showcases the raw realism of the Realist art movement, is a full-length drawing executed in chalk on brown moderately thick slightly textured wove paper. The artwork depicts a young peasant woman, dressed in traditional clothing of the era, standing with her back to the viewer. She wears a simple, long-sleeved blouse, a full, pleated skirt, and a red shawl draped over her shoulders. In her hand, she holds a tobacco pipe, taking a leisurely puff while looking off into the distance. The woman's attire, with its practical yet elegant design, reflects the social class and lifestyle of rural France during the 1840s. The use of chalk on paper adds texture and depth to the image, making the folds in the woman's clothing and the details of her dress stand out. The artwork's back view and rear view perspectives offer a unique and intriguing insight into the subject's posture and personality. Paul Gavarni, also known as Hippolyte-Guillaume Sulpice Chevalier, was a prominent figure in the French artistic scene, known for his satirical and realistic drawings. This artwork, "Peasant Girl Smoking," is a testament to his ability to capture the essence of everyday life and the human experience with remarkable detail and authenticity. Today, this precious piece of heritage art can be found in the Walters Art Museum, adding to the rich collection of 19th-century art and history.
