"Une de ces mines pudibones" is a 1843 ink by Paul Gavarni, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two people on a city street. A woman in a big, old-fashioned hat and dress sits sideways on a bench, her back to us. A man in a tall top hat and coat stands nearby, looking down at his pocket watch. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and mood. The woman’s hat looks like it’s made of feathers or lace, and the man’s coat is buttoned up tight. Next, check out how this was made using lithography.
Paul Gavarni was the pen name of Sulpice Guillaume Chevalier (13 January 1804 – 24 November 1866), a French illustrator, born in Paris.
