Description

This print (with title and captions added) was published in Le Charivari (April 26, 1845) as plate 59 from the series The Best Days in Life.
A vertically oriented black-and-white lithograph depicts figures in an art gallery, shaded with dense cross-hatching. In the center foreground, a man in a tall top hat faces forward with a stern expression. To our right, a woman in a lace-trimmed bonnet carries a cylindrical muff. To our left, silhouetted figures in top hats show their backs. In the background, a man in profile gazes at a framed double portrait.
