Le gamin au chien, avec le cabas is a 1862 by Edouard Manet, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a boy in a dark coat holding a small dog in one hand and a woven bag in the other. The dog looks fluffy, with a thick tail curled under its body. The boy’s face is round, with a slight smile and a bit of stubble on his chin. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to draw the boy’s coat and the dog’s fur, giving a sense of movement. The background is mostly empty, letting the two subjects stand out. Look up Impressionism next to see how this style changed how artists drew everyday scenes.
