Untitled (Woman) is a 1908 by Albert de Belleroche, depicting Britain, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman sitting in a chair, her body turned slightly away. Her dress is loose and flowing, with one arm resting on the chair’s armrest. The background is dark and blurry, making her stand out. The lines are rough and quick, like the artist was working fast. Her face is calm but not smiling, with soft shading around her cheeks. The artist didn’t smooth out the edges—her hair and clothes look almost textured, like they’re made of strokes. Next, look up *chiaroscuro* to see how light and shadow create drama in art.
Count Albert Gustavus de Belleroche (22 October 1864 – 14 July 1944), also known as Albert Belleroche, was a Welsh painter and lithographer, who lived most of his childhood and his adulthood in Paris and England.
