EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph by Henri Gerbault captures a moment of social satire during the Belle Époque era. Titled "Woman mocking a stockbroker for his diminutive stature" the artwork showcases the artist's talent as a caricaturist and humorist. The scene depicts an elegant woman, dressed in fashionable attire of the time, engaging in conversation with a stockbroker. With an unimpressed expression on her face, she looks down upon him, emphasizing his short stature. The man appears slightly uncomfortable under her scrutiny. Gerbault's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print. From the intricate costume and hairstyle of the woman to the small accessories like her hat and lorgnette glasses, he brings authenticity to this portrayal of early 20th-century French society. The composition highlights not only physical differences but also social dynamics between individuals from different classes or professions. Through subtle mockery and wit, Gerbault challenges societal norms and sheds light on how appearances can influence perception. This piece is part of Les Maitres de la Caricature series published in L Album magazine around 1902. It serves as a testament to Gerbault's skill as both cartoonist and caricaturist during that period. As we admire this artwork today, it offers us a glimpse into France's rich cultural history while reminding us that humor has always played an essential role in satirizing societal conventions.
