Affiches Illustrées is a 1845 by Paul Gavarni, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This image shows a black and white drawing of three people standing in front of a large cylindrical object. The people are dressed in 19th-century clothing, with the two men wearing top hats and the woman wearing a long skirt. The cylindrical object has writing on it, but it's not clear what it says. The drawing has a lot of texture and shading, which gives it a sense of depth and dimension. The artist has used a range of lines and values to create a sense of movement and energy in the scene. If you like this style of drawing, you might also want to check out the work of other Romanticism artists.
Paul Gavarni was the pen name of Sulpice Guillaume Chevalier (13 January 1804 – 24 November 1866), a French illustrator, born in Paris.
