Bourgeoise is a 1857 by Paul Gavarni, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a woman dressed in a long, dark dress and a wide-brimmed hat, standing in a landscape with trees and hills in the background. The woman's face is blurred, and her hands are tucked into the folds of her dress. She appears to be walking along a path. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the woman's clothing and the landscape. The use of dark colors gives the painting a somber tone.
