Confidences is a 1900 ink by Paul-Albert Besnard, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two people sitting close together on a bench, their faces turned toward each other. The lines are rough and scratchy, like they were drawn fast with a sharp tool. One person wears a hat and a coat, while the other has a lighter jacket and a hand resting on their knee. The paper has a textured look, almost like old paper with a faint pattern. The artist used a mix of deep lines and lighter strokes to show shadows and movement. Check out how this was made using etching, drypoint.
