Intimité (Privacy) is a 1895 ink by Paul Edouard Crébassa, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman’s face and shoulders turned slightly away. Her hair is drawn in quick, loose strokes, like windblown strands. The lines are rough and uneven, giving her features a soft but unfinished look. The artist used a simple black mark to suggest light and shadow—no colors, just shading. The paper has a warm, creamy tone that makes the dark lines stand out. Next, check out the technique: lithography to see how artists like this made prints.
Paul Edouard Crébassa (1894–1894) was an artist.
