Greeting Grandmother (Le Bonjour à la Grand-mère) is a 1926 graphite by Paul-Albert Besnard, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet bedroom scene. A woman sits on a bed, holding a child who leans toward her. Behind them, another woman stands by a window, her hands raised as if adjusting something. The room has simple furniture—a bed, a chair, and a small table—and the walls are plain. The artist used fine lines to show fabric folds and light. The window curtains are drawn back, letting in soft light that brightens the room. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Besnard create detailed prints.
