1857
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Le Propriétaire is a 1857 by Paul Gavarni, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a man in a long coat standing in a doorway. His face is round, with a neatly tied cravat. The coat is drawn with quick, sketchy lines, and the background is just a hint of a room behind him. The title *Le Propriétaire* suggests this is a portrait of a landowner or wealthy figure, but the artist’s loose style makes it feel more like a quick snapshot than a polished portrait. If you like this sketchy style, look up Realism next.
Paul Gavarni was the pen name of Sulpice Guillaume Chevalier (13 January 1804 – 24 November 1866), a French illustrator, born in Paris.
