Edmond de Goncourt is a 1896 ink by Eugène Carrière, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a close-up portrait of a man with curly hair and a beard. The background is plain and dark, making his face stand out. The lines are soft and smudged, like it was drawn quickly or with a rough tool. The artist used a technique that makes the edges fuzzy, almost like chalk on paper. This style was popular in the late 1800s for capturing a quick, real feel. Check out lithography to see how artists made prints like this.
