Illustrations for Faust: Faust seeks to allure Marguerite is a 1828 by Eugène Delacroix, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows three people in old-fashioned clothes walking down a street. The woman in the middle wears a long dress and a headscarf, holding a bag. The two men on either side have long coats, hats, and one is holding her arm. The background has rough buildings and a church spire. The woman looks nervous while the men seem more confident. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture movement and emotion. Next, look up Romanticism to see how this style focused on drama and feeling.
Ferdinand Victor Eugène Delacroix ( DEL-ə-krwah, -KRWAH; French: ; 26 April 1798 – 13 August 1863) was a French Romantic artist who was regarded as the leader of the French Romantic school.
