1858
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Petit Commerce is a 1858 by Paul Gavarni, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting "Petit Commerce" by Paul Gavarni shows a man standing with his arms crossed, wearing a long-sleeved shirt, pants, and a hat. He is standing in front of a fence with a basket and some small tables next to him. The background is a cloudy sky. The man's pose and facial expression suggest that he might be waiting for something or someone. The small tables and basket imply that he might be selling something, but it's not clear what. This painting is reminiscent of the work of other Impressionist artists who focused on everyday life and scenes. To learn more about this style, look up Impressionism.
Paul Gavarni was the pen name of Sulpice Guillaume Chevalier (13 January 1804 – 24 November 1866), a French illustrator, born in Paris.
