Un portrait flatté
Gavarni, Paul, 1804-1866 · January 31, 1840
An artist, seen from the back, is painting the portrait of a judge on a great canvas, representing him with the characteristics of justice, holding a sword in one hand, and a scale in the other. His model, in robe and academic band, sleeps soundly, seated at right on an armchair.
