About the Item
Lithograph on laid paper realized in the mid-19th Century.
Titled Le Mercredi des Cendres (“Ash Wednesday”), it depicts a lively and tumultuous street carnival scene, animated with costumed figures, soldiers, and an energetic crowd. The composition is highly dynamic, showcasing Raffet’s sharp, narrative style for which he became well known, especially in his portrayals of popular and historical subjects.
The sheet shows a warm sepia tone from paper oxidation and scattered foxing typical of its age.
Scattered foxing, minor water stain on the margin, overall good condition.
