Madeleine Lemaire is a 1900 ink by Paul-Albert Besnard, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows two faces side by side. One is dark and shadowy, the other lighter with flowing hair. Both are drawn in loose, sketchy lines that feel almost like quick pencil strokes. The artist used a mix of shading and texture to make the faces pop from the paper. The edges are rough, like they were drawn fast but carefully. Look up etching to see how artists like this make prints.
