Paul Gavarni

Associated Names

Paul Gavarni

Artist, French, 1804 - 1866

The image depicts a person standing in full body. The person has their hand resting on their hip and the other hand lowered at their side. They have their head slightly tilted downward with closed eyes and medium-length wavy hair. The person is wearing a long coat, a light-colored shirt, dark form-fitting pants, and shoes. The background has a simple, textured surface with no objects or scenery, and the shading adds depth to the figure.
