"Une de ces mines pudibones"

Paul Gavarni

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two individuals on a street or promenade. In the foreground to the left, a woman is shown from the back, wearing a voluminous dress with a fitted bodice adorned with horizontal stripes and a hat featuring ribbons or flowers. To the right, a man stands facing her, dressed in a formal suit, holding a walking cane and umbrella. A figure sits in the background on a bench or balustrade, against a cityscape under a cloudy sky.
