Although he was renowned as a painter, Théodore Géricault feared that he could never rival the work of his predecessors. Thus, he embraced the invention of lithography in the late 18th century as an opportunity to become the master of a new medium. Here Géricault used the lines of the building to frame the young girl’s despair at the plight of the older woman.
