Each figure is meticulously crafted with intricate details that highlight Grandville's artistic prowess. As we delve deeper into the scene, we are immersed in a realm where satire takes center stage. Through his unique style, Grandville cleverly uses these shadow puppets as a medium for social commentary and political critique. His ability to convey complex ideas through visual storytelling is truly remarkable.
