Jean Baptiste Isabey is a 1854 ink by Paul Gavarni, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a man standing in a landscape, wearing a long coat and holding a top hat and cane. He has a white beard and hair, and is looking to the right. The background is a hilly landscape with trees and bushes. The man's attire and the style of the painting suggest that it is a portrait from the 19th century. The use of lithography on chine collé gives the image a sense of depth and texture. This painting is a great example of the work of artist Gavarni, Paul.
