Source Description
The drawings Gavarni made based on his observations in Great Britain often depict the crowds and individual types found in drinking establishments, both low and high. "The Barmaid" not only exhibits its subject's considerable charms but also illustrates a distinctive English social custom. She is shown pausing on the threshold between the working-class "public bar" and the more genteel "parlour" section of the pub in which she works.
