1858

Un Boulanger is a 1858 by Paul Gavarni, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a man walking on a wet street. He’s wearing a long coat, a cap, and boots, and his hands are tucked into his pockets. Behind him, a building has a poster or sign on the wall, and the ground looks damp. The title *Un Boulanger* means "a baker" in French, so this man might be one. The drawing is simple but full of small details, like the folds in his coat. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this sketch in person.
Paul Gavarni was the pen name of Sulpice Guillaume Chevalier (13 January 1804 – 24 November 1866), a French illustrator, born in Paris.
