Cantonnier
1857
"Cantonnier" is a lithograph by French artist Paul Gavarni depicting a road worker, one of many studies of Parisian working-class life that characterized his prolific career. Created in the nineteenth century, the work exemplifies Gavarni's keen observational style and his ability to capture social types with both humor and humanity through the lithographic medium. The print reflects his broader artistic engagement with modern urban society and the ordinary figures who inhabited the streets of Paris.
