The poster is unlined and in very good condition. Courbet was a Realist painter whose work has greatly affected Western art history. Of the artist, Wikipedia writes: "Jean Désiré Gustave Courbet (10 June 1819 31 December 1877) was a French painter who led the Realist movement in 19th-century French painting. The Realist movement bridged the Romantic Movement (characterized by the paintings of Theodore Gericault and Eugene Delacroix) with the Barbizon School and the Impressionists. Courbet occupies an important place in 19th century French painting as an innovator and as an artist willing to make bold social commentary in his work."
