Mercier Ambulant

Paul Gavarni

Cleveland Museum of Art

Sepia-toned drawing of a man with a long beard and mustache wearing a hat, long coat, and shoes, holding a box or tray with both hands. The man is standing and facing forward. He wears a cylindrical hat on his head, and his facial hair is thick and unkempt. His eyes appear to be closed. He has a long, dark-colored coat draped over his shoulders, and his clothing appears to be layered. The box or tray he holds has a decorative front. The background is a plain, light-colored surface with darker shading behind the man, suggesting a wall or backdrop. The overall style is detailed and realistic. Mercier Ambulant by Paul Gavarni.
