1858
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
En Voyage is a 1858 by Paul Gavarni, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a man dressed in formal attire, standing in front of a wall. He is wearing a top hat, a dark jacket, a white shirt, and light-colored pants. His right hand is in his pocket, and his left arm is bent at the elbow. The man's facial expression is serious, and he appears to be looking off into the distance. The background of the painting is a plain wall, which provides a simple backdrop for the subject. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting, drawing the viewer's attention to the subject. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up chiaroscuro.
