La Rieuse: Madame Albert Besnard is a 1897 ink by Edmond Aman-Jean, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a woman’s face and shoulders turned slightly away. Her hair is loose, and her expression looks soft but not clear. The lines are rough and scratchy, with two brown tones and some gold mixed in. The artist used a technique that lets the paper show through the ink, making it look like it’s drawn with chalk. This style was common in the late 1800s. Next, check out lithography to see how this kind of printmaking works.
