About the Item

Lithograph on paper. Signed in the plte. A delicate and rare lithograph by Gérard Séguin, showcasing his refined neoclassical style and allegorical sensibility. The composition, framed within an oval, depicts a young woman timidly greeted by an elder at the threshold, while a mother and children observe from within and a vigilant dog peers from the side. The scene embodies moralized sentiment, rendered with soft tonal transitions and meticulous draughtsmanship. Séguin, a French artist active in the 19th century, is celebrated for his lithographic works combining narrative charm with technical finesse. This sheet exemplifies his capacity to merge classical inspiration with intimate domestic allegories, offering both aesthetic refinement and historical resonance. Uniform toning and scattered foxing consistent with age; overall well-preserved impression with strong contrasts.
