Les Lorettes

Paul Gavarni

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white illustration of a woman reclining on a low chair. The woman's head is thrown back, and she has one arm resting on her stomach and the other on the back of the chair. She wears a dark dress and appears to have curled hair. A man stands over her, his head bowed and hand extended toward her. He wears a hat and a light-colored jacket or shirt. The scene is framed by a thin double-lined border. Above the image, the text reads "LES LORETTES". The background of the illustration is a light-colored wall. Text appears below the image on the aged paper. The illustration is by Paul Gavarni.
