Carnaval

Paul Gavarni

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a man with short hair turned away from the viewer wearing a dark suit with tails with a hat in one hand. The viewer looks through a window behind the man onto a city scene. The man is looking down at a woman, she wears a dark corset and a light colored skirt. A small person wearing a hat rides piggyback on the woman. The woman's facial expression could be read as annoyed. The image is captioned with French text. The drawing style could be considered comedic or satirical. The title is "Carnaval" by Paul Gavarni.
