Par-ci, par-lá: My Daughter has sung is a 1855 by Paul Gavarni, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows two women walking side by side. Both wear long coats, bonnets, and shawls, with one carrying a small bag. The drawing is loose and sketchy, mostly in black and white with some faint background lines. The title hints at a song or story—maybe the women are chatting or lost in thought. The style looks quick and unfinished, like a snapshot of daily life. If you like this, check out Realism next to see more art that focuses on ordinary moments.
Paul Gavarni was the pen name of Sulpice Guillaume Chevalier (13 January 1804 – 24 November 1866), a French illustrator, born in Paris.
