EDITORS COMMENTS
August, 1866" is a captivating full-length portrait drawing by the renowned French artist Paul Gavarni (1804-1866), depicting a rural man identified as Chevallier Sulpice Guillaume, dressed in the traditional attire of the eighth month. The image, created in the 1860s during the Nineteenth Century, is a stunning representation of the Realist and Regionalist artistic movements. The man, dressed in a simple, rustic outfit, wears a wide-brimmed hat, a long-sleeved shirt, and an apron adorned with intricate patterns. He stands before a fence, holding a large chocolate urn and a samovar, offering a taste of the delicious confectionery to a customer. The colorful scene exudes a sense of warmth and charm, capturing the essence of rural life during this season. The artist masterfully uses ink and pencil on paper to bring the man and his surroundings to life, creating a vivid and textured image. The man's occupation as a street vendor or trader is evident from the chocolate urn and the setting, which depicts a quaint, rural location. The use of a single figure in a full-length portrait is a common theme in Gavarni's work, and his ability to capture the essence of social class and occupation through clothing and accessories is a testament to his artistic skill. This evocative image transports us back in time, allowing us to experience the simple pleasures of rural life during the August season in France. The Twelve Months: August, 1866 by Paul Gavarni is a valuable addition to any art collection, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the beauty and richness of rural life.
