Paul Gavarni

This drawing, by caricaturist Paul Gavarni, presents a character from pantomime and festival culture. Called Pierrot, he is recognizable by his comically ill-fitting clothes and was popular in performances during Gavarni's lifetime. The artist drew Pierrot several times late in his career, often adding humorous captions, which likely related to his work in printmaking and illustration.

A vertically oriented full-length watercolor and gouache drawing depicts a man with a light skin tone and a faint mustache standing in a sparse landscape of muted brown and gray washes. He wears a loose white costume with oversized sleeves, voluminous trousers, a ruffled collar, and three large, round buttons. A peaked hat sits atop his head as he looks down to the left. His feet are clad in white shoes with small bows.
