Les Gitanos
1862
"Les Gitanos" is an etching by Édouard Manet created in 1862, depicting a group of Romani people in a loose, sketchy style characteristic of the artist's printmaking work. The composition captures the figure of a seated guitarist with accompanying figures, rendered with Manet's characteristic bold lines and economical use of the medium to suggest form and movement. This work reflects Manet's interest in everyday subjects and marginalized social groups, themes that would become central to his artistic practice during the 1860s.
