Street Scene, Ink And Wash On Paper — Signed G. Doré And Dated 1848
A lively street scene in ink and wash on paper titled “The Two Classes of Whites.” It depicts a dandy in a top hat holding a greyhound on a leash, facing a porter bent under his load, rendered in a caricature-like style.
Signed “G. Doré” in the lower right corner and dated 1848. The technique—ink, gray wash, and highlights on tinted paper—is characteristic of Gustave Doré’s early works; at the time, he was 16 years old and likely just beginning his career contributing to the Journal pour rire.
Presented under glass, framed.
With frame: H. 45 cm / W. 38 cm
Without frame: H. 27 cm / W. 20 cm
