Indifferent (Indifférente) is a 1900 ink by Paul-Albert Besnard, depicting corpse, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a woman with a calm face. She's sitting with her hands together. This work is interesting because it has a lot of subtle details, like the folds in her clothes and the soft lines on her face, which suggest a quiet moment. The artist used simple lines to create a sense of stillness. The woman's expression is hard to read, which makes the painting more intriguing. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique: etching.
