La Marchande de Citrons is a 1857 by Paul Gavarni, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
You're looking at a sketch of a woman in a long dress and headscarf, holding a tray of lemons. The woman stands in a stone courtyard, with a stone wall behind her. The sketch is done in a loose, expressive style. The woman's face is turned to the side, and her expression is serious. The lemons on the tray are drawn in quick, bold lines. The stone wall behind her is rough and textured. This sketch is a great example of the Romanticism movement. To see more works from this movement, check out the Romanticism movement.
