1875
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Little Marie is a 1875 by Alphonse Legros, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a young girl with round cheeks and serious eyes. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a simple white collar. The lines are loose but capture her face clearly. The artist used shading to show light and shadow on her skin and clothes. This makes her look real and three-dimensional. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how artists use light and dark like this.
Alphonse Legros (French pronunciation: ; 8 May 1837 – 8 December 1911) was a French, later British, painter, etcher, sculptor, and medallist.
