La Maréchal Baraquey d'Hilliers is a 1859 by Auguste Raffet, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a man in a tall black hat and a light-colored military uniform. His jacket has buttons and a star pin on the chest, and he stands with one hand resting on a sword. The drawing is loose and sketchy, with quick lines and no deep shadows. The artist focused on the uniform’s details, like the star and the way the fabric folds. This style was common in 1850s France for capturing everyday people in their roles. Check out Realism to see more works like this one.
