"The Gourmand" is an iconic painting by French artist Louis Leopold Boilly, renowned for his meticulously detailed genre scenes of Parisian life in the late 18th and early 19th century. The artwork, dated between 1806 and 1807, highlights the artist's distinctive talent for portraying expressiveness and individual character in his subjects.

The painting presents an engaging characterization of a gourmand, dwelling on the pleasure and indulgence of gustatory delight. The subject is portrayed seated at a dining table, his eyes gleefully focused on his next morsel of food. The objects surrounding him, including glasses, plates of food, and an accompanying carafe of wine, are painted with meticulous detail and precision, embodying Boilly's precise and observant style.

"The Gourmand" is venerated for its rich characterization and the subtle social commentary underlying Boilly's depiction of over-indulgence. It is an exemplification of Boilly's fascination with the individuality of the everyday people, their vices and their virtues.

This artwork is a notable representation of the French Realism art movement and offers important insights into the societal norms, customs, and ways of life, specifically centered around food and indulgence, in early 19th century Paris. Today, "The Gourmand" is housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Valenciennes in France.
