The Model Session (La Séance de modèle) is a 1895 by Alexandre Lunois, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman sitting on a rug near a fireplace. She’s wrapped in a loose cloth, one arm resting on her knee, looking down. The room around her has a shelf with books, a small statue, and a few everyday objects like a teapot and cups. The artist focused on simple shapes and soft shadows, making the scene feel quiet and real. The sketch looks unfinished, like it was drawn quickly. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create mood in art.
