Boilly, Louis-Leopold

L'Avarice". A Vintage Color Lithograph by Boilly

Circa [1824]. [1824]. Circa [1824]. [1824]. Fair. A WONDERFUL FRENCH CARICATURE BY LOUIS-LEOPOLD BOILLY - sc The 14-1/8 inch high by 10-3/8 inch wide color lithograph caricatures a drably dressed older couple. The man, attired in gray, cradles a locking box into which he's placing coins from the stacks on the table he leans on. The man suspiciously looks back at the old woman who, swadled in brown clothes and cradling bags of what one can only assume is money, gazes over the man's shoulder. Titled at center under the image "L'Avarice". "G. lith. de Delpech" is printed at right under the image. Boilly's signature is reproduced in lithograph at left under the image. Printed on heavy stock, the lithograph is mounted onto cardboard. The edges are stained and darkened and there is some very minor foxing to the creamy white paper. A short tear along the left edge is repaired and reinforced by the mount. A piece is chipped away from the top right corner of the print and its mount. Good.

The French artist Louis-Leopold Boilly (1761-1845) moved to Paris in 1786 where he set up his successful business as a painter and lithographer. Credited with drawing the first dated French lithograph in 1802, he went on to successfully caricature social and political subjects. Fair .

A marine painter who expertly captured the sea and shore, Eugene Louis Boudin (1824-1898) was the first French Landscape painter to actually paint outdoors. Corot, himself a French landscape painter, referred to Boudin as the "King of the Skies". Boudin garnered an intoxicating eulogy from Beaudelaire who referred to his "ces nuages aux formes fantastiques et lumineuses, ces tenebre chaotique, ces immensites vertes et roses .. comme une boisson catipeuse ou comme l'eloquence de l'opium.
