La Mort de Jeannot : les frais du culte, avec quatre dessins de Gustave Courbet : exposition de Gand de 1868

1868 · Bruxelles : A. Lacroix · 1 picture

A French-language pamphlet published in Brussels by A. Lacroix in 1868, reproducing four drawings by the painter Gustave Courbet for an exhibition held in Ghent that year. The single picture shows a street scene in wood engraving style: a man in a tricorn hat and long coat walks beside a woman in a shawl and bonnet carrying a basket over cobblestones past a tree and a building with a hanging sign. Designers may take from it the reduced, hatched tonal modelling of nineteenth-century reproductive prints and the sparse, quiet townscape composition.

Courbet, Gustave, 1819-1877
