Le gamin au chien, avec le cabas

Edouard Manet

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white drawing of a young boy with short dark hair wearing a dark sweater over a light-colored collared shirt and light-colored pants. He holds a large basket in both hands. A medium-sized dog with shaggy dark fur stands to his left, peering up at the basket. The boy looks toward the viewer with a slight smile. The background shows a textured wall or ground with horizontal and vertical lines suggesting shading and texture. The artist's name appears in the upper-left corner.
