La Blanche Caroline (Pale Caroline) is a 1880 ink by Félix-Hilaire Buhot, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image depicts a woman in a long, flowing dress walking along a path beside a body of water. The scene is set at night, with a castle or large building visible in the background. The woman's dress is blowing in the wind, and she appears to be walking quickly. The image is rendered in a range of dark tones, with the woman and the castle standing out against the darker background. The overall effect is one of movement and energy, with the wind-blown dress and the woman's rapid pace creating a sense of dynamism. The image is a print, created using a combination of etching, drypoint, and aquatint techniques. It is part of the Impressionism and Realism movements, and is held in the collection of the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
