Three Vignettes is a 1830 ink by Hippolyte Bellangé, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows three small scenes in black and white. On the left, a man in a hat and coat stands with his hands behind his back, looking up at a building. In the middle, a soldier sits tall on a horse, holding the reins. At the bottom left, two people sit close together, reading or talking. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and emotion. The scenes feel like snapshots of everyday life from long ago. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
