1843
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Les Actrices: J'avais demande un petit chapeau! is a 1843 by Paul Gavarni, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
In this 1843 painting, a woman stands in front of a mirror, wearing a large hat and a dark dress. She is looking at her reflection, while a man stands behind her, watching. The man is dressed in a suit and has his hands on his hips. The woman's hat is quite large and elaborate, and it seems to be the focus of her attention. The man's expression is somewhat serious, and he appears to be critiquing the woman's choice of headwear. This painting is a great example of the Romanticism movement, which emphasized emotion and individualism. To learn more about this style, check out the Romanticism movement.
