Actualités: ---Mais je suis donc un personnage bien considerable? is a 1841 by Clémente Pruche, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows two women at a window. One holds a fan, looking out at a crowd below. The other stands nearby, holding a shawl. Outside, a man in a toga-like outfit waves up at them. The scene looks like a street scene in a city, with buildings and people gathered. The caption below hints at a joke about a famous person visiting. The drawing was published in a magazine called *La Mode* in 1841. Look up Romanticism next to see how humor and drama mixed in this era.
Clémente Pruche (1811–1890) was a French artist, born in Paris.
