Caricature Drawing For The Medical Internship Ball 1865 By Gabriel Gostiaux St. 4'zarts

Graphite and watercolor drawing representing two caricatured costumed characters.
The drawing of the faces is superbly realistic, there are a lot of details in the costumes.
On a poster on the left we read:
MEDICAL STUDENTS' BALL FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE POOR, MARCH 4, 1865.
signed lower right G.Gostiaux* and dated 1865.
In the 19th century between the ball of the crazy, the ball of the 4 zarts and the medical interns' ball the illustrators had work to create a number of posters and leaflets to promote these events.
Our mixed technique deserves to be saved, the support is a very thick paper, once framed it will regain its superb appearance. *Gabriel Gostiaux (1838-1910) is a painter, draftsman, illustrator and lithographer who collaborated on numerous periodicals including Charivari, Surprises et fancies and was an image designer in Épinal between 1902 and 1905. ​​​​​
