Humorous Scene of Two Ladies in a Donkey Cart – “Wie wird das enden?” by Léon Girardet, c. 1890
Description:
This charming color lithograph, titled “Wie wird das enden?” (How will this end?), was created by the French-Swiss artist Léon Girardet around 1890. It captures a humorous and slightly precarious scene: two elegantly dressed ladies, seated in a wooden cart pulled by a determined donkey, cross a shallow river. One lady, in a ruffled red dress and extravagant hat, sits with amused composure, while her more animated companion energetically urges the donkey onward with a stick.
Girardet was known for his lighthearted genre scenes that often depicted everyday life with a gentle humor and affectionate detail. Here, he combines a lively composition with a sense of theatrical fun, evoking the social customs and playful spirit of the time.
The fine lithographic technique and carefully balanced colors – the rich greens of the reeds, the warm browns of the donkey, and the soft pastel hues of the ladies’ dresses – create a delightful interplay of light and atmosphere. The gentle ripples of water add motion and texture, making this scene feel refreshingly alive.
As a master of genre painting, Girardet excelled in creating images that balanced narrative charm with a keen eye for detail. “Wie wird das enden?” is a delightful example of his wit and skill, offering a perfect addition to any collection of 19th-century prints or humorous art.
Condition Report:
This lithograph is in good antique condition with some mild toning and very light foxing. The colors remain fresh and vibrant, and the image retains its lively, humorous character.
Tips for framing:
Use a warm off-white mat to highlight the lively colors and charming detail. A thin gold or dark wooden frame will complement the print’s antique character, creating a classic and elegant finish.
