EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the whimsical world of Figaro, the walking barber. Created in the second half of the 19th century by French School artist Jean Duvallon, this engraving is part of a series called "Caricatures-Singeries". The image showcases Figaro, an anthropomorphic monkey dressed in a comical costume, carrying out his grooming duties with a razor and other beauty accessories. The scene exudes laughter and derision as Figaro goes about his unconventional trade on the streets of France. The intricate details of the engraving highlight every aspect of this laughable character's metier. From his linen-clad body to his mischievous expression, every element adds to the mockery and amusement. Figaro's presence brings forth a sense of playfulness and imagination as he navigates through daily life as both an animal and a groomer. This unique blend of human-like behavior combined with animal characteristics creates an intriguing juxtaposition that captivates viewers. The impressive craftsmanship showcased in this lithograph reflects Pellerin et Cie's expertise as patented suppliers to S. M. L Imperatrice during that era. With its dimensions measuring 41.5x27.5 cm, this artwork stands out for its attention to detail and artistic flair. As we gaze upon this enchanting piece from our private collection, it serves as a reminder that art can transcend time and bring joy through its clever depiction of everyday life transformed into delightful caricatured scenes like Figaro's
