1843
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Costumes d' Humann is a 1843 by Paul Gavarni, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a man dressed in a long, dark coat with a high collar and a top hat. He stands with his hands in his pockets, facing forward. The background is a cityscape with buildings and a horse-drawn carriage. The man's attire and the cityscape suggest a scene from 19th-century Europe. The artist's use of shading and texture creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the image. The painting is a fine example of Romanticism, a movement that emphasized emotion and individualism.
