Une Bonne is a 1857 by Paul Gavarni, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting depicts a woman standing in front of a building, dressed in a long skirt and jacket. She is holding an umbrella and has a headscarf tied around her head. The background is a city street with buildings and a sidewalk. The woman's attire and the setting suggest a scene from everyday life in the 19th century. The artist's use of shading and texture adds depth to the image. To learn more about the artistic style and techniques used in this painting, explore the Romanticism movement.
