Title:	Petite Servante, Deviendra Maitresse (Little Servant, Becomes Mistress)
Artist:	Gavarni, 'Hippolyte Guillaume Suplice Chavalier', 'Paul Gavarni' (Paris, 1804 - Auteuil, 1866)
Date:	1857
Medium:	Original Lithograph
Publisher:	Paulin et Le Chevalier, Paris

Note:	Hippolyte Guillaume Sulpice Chevalier - much better known to the world as 'Paul Gavarni' -- is second only to Daumier as the greatest social commentator and satirical artist of nineteenth century France. Beginning his career as an engineer's assistant he began to exhibit signs of his future genius in the late 1820's as a fashion designer and illustrator. Paul Gavarni's talent for caricature and satirical art, however, led him to the editorship of Les Gens du Monde in 1835. He afterwards took charge of the influential periodical, Charivari, and was then forced to live and work in England in the late 1840's in order to avoid political persecution. One of the most clever caricaturists of any age, Gavarni's draughtsmanship was without equal. With the greatest economy of line he captured the follies and foibles of his age.
	This original lithograph is a superb example of Paul Gavarni's mature style. During the 1850's he was commissioned by the Paris Journal to create satirical lithographs on a daily basis. This gave birth to his greatest suite, "Masques et Visages" which many scholars hold in high esteem. According to J. Armelhault's and Bocher's important "Catalogue Raisonne" listing Gavarni's original lithographs, page 446, the Suite, entitled, "Masques et Visages" consisted of one hundred original lithographs published successively in two series, "Par-Ci, par-la" pages (446 - 452) and "Physionomies Parisiennes" pages (452-457), each consisting of fifty original lithographs. Both were published by Paulin et Le Chevalier, Paris, editors of "L'Illustration", rue Richelieu, 60 and printed by Lemercier, Paris from 1857 to 1858. All the lithographs portray half-length or three quarter length portraits of people, with the exception of number (14), who is standing, each piece is surrounded by a border. In these two sets, we are treated to an entire spectrum of brilliant character studies when Paul Gavarni's ability was at its peak. Using brilliant contrasts of blacks, greys and whites, the lithographs from this set have long been considered to be among France's finest examples of lithographic art. "Petite Servante, Deviendra Maitresse" (Little Servant, Becomes Mistress) hails from the "Masques et Visages", " Physionomies Parisiennes" set published by Paulin et Le Chevalier, Paris. It is a 2nd State impression, bearing the series title, "Physionomies Parisiennes" in the upper margin, as well as, the artist's name, "Par Gavarni", the number, "25", the printer's details, "Imp. Lemercier, Paris" and the full title, "Petite Servante, Deviendra Maitresse" in the lower margin as published by Paulin et Le Chevalier in 1857. This lithograph depicts an exterior scene with a young girl dressed in a shirt and skirt, a handkerchief on her head and slippers on her feet. She is standing by a well near a bucket with one hand behind her back and the other, on the edge of a well.
