Seated Lady in Black, Trouville is a 1865 graphite by Eugène Boudin, a Impressionism work, depicting Sitting, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a woman sitting in a chair, wearing a long black dress. She's placed in a simple setting, which makes her the focus. The artist used simple lines and colors to create this piece, which is interesting because it shows the subject's quiet mood. The lady's face is calm and serene, and her dark clothing makes her stand out. The artist's use of watercolor and graphite gives the piece a soft, gentle feel. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Boudin, Eugène.
Eugène Louis Boudin (French: ; 12 July 1824 – 8 August 1898) was one of the first French landscape painters to paint outdoors.
