Faite et Gestes du Propriétaire is a 1847 by Paul Gavarni, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows two men outside a small house. One is a worker in patched clothes, leaning on a shovel. The other wears a fancy coat, hat, and glasses, holding a key. They’re arguing near an open door, with a cat peeking out. The worker looks frustrated, while the man in the coat seems smug. The scene feels like a joke about class differences.
