1832
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Album for 1832: Un famous diplomat à dit... is a 1832 by Auguste Raffet, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a group of people drinking and talking in a dimly lit tavern. A dog lies on the floor near the crowd, while others stand or lean on tables. The background has a sign and more people watching. The scene looks lively but slightly messy. The caption below jokes about a diplomat saying one thing to rich people and another to the poor. The artist drew everyday life, not fancy portraits. Look up Romanticism to see how artists like this one focused on real people and their struggles.
Denis Auguste Marie Raffet (2 March 1804 – 16 February 1860) was a French illustrator and lithographer. He was a student of Nicolas Toussaint Charlet, and was a retrospective painter of the Empire.
