1823
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Seriez vous sensible? is a 1823 ink by Nicolas Toussaint Charlet, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph depicts a group of people gathered in front of a building, with a man in a military uniform standing out. He is wearing a tall hat with a feather and has a sword at his side. The people around him are dressed in 19th-century clothing, and one woman is holding a child. The scene appears to be set in a European city, possibly Paris, given the style of the building and the clothing. The artist has used a range of grays to create a sense of depth and atmosphere in the scene.
