1857
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
L'Étudiant is a 1857 by Paul Gavarni, a Impressionism work, depicting Cummerbund, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
You see a young man sitting at a desk, surrounded by books and papers. He looks tired, like he's been studying for a long time. The artist included many details, like the man's messy hair and the books piled high. The man's face is the focus of the painting. His expression is one of concentration and maybe a little sadness. To learn more about this style, look up the technique of sfumato.
Paul Gavarni was the pen name of Sulpice Guillaume Chevalier (13 January 1804 – 24 November 1866), a French illustrator, born in Paris.
